</p><p>179 providers have been accredited to deliver reformed ITT from September 2024,
following an accreditation process designed to drive up the quality and consistency
of ITT leading to Qualified Teacher Status. This number includes 155 existing ITT
providers. Together, these providers will cover all regions of the country. Where
appropriate, the Department is encouraging accredited providers to consider partnering
with those who were unsuccessful in gaining accreditation to bring together high-quality
provision with local expertise, connections and experience.</p><p>The Department will
continue to monitor the availability of provision across England to ensure that the
ITT market is ready and able to deliver teacher training programmes in every part
of the country from September 2024.</p>
