Our partners
I have found NITE’s approach to initial teacher training to be collaborative, solution-focused and flexible with partnership being the cornerstone of their planning and delivery.
NITE offer teacher training opportunities in a broad range of subject specialisms, facilitated through digital platforms which allow them to be conveniently accessed throughout the UK and beyond. Their experienced mentoring team ensure that trainee teachers feel well-supported in their studies.
Working with an assigned account manager fosters a personal approach to partnership and allows Lead Partners to feel instrumental in shaping the direction of ITT initiatives.
Claire Amed, Learning and Development Manager, Creative Education Trust, 2025
The trust as an organisation has been working with NITE for many years. We use NITE to facilitate our apprenticeships across the Trust. The course is really flexible in terms of when the tutorials happen and the platforms that trainees use to access learning. And I know they really appreciate the support they get from their tutors and their visiting tutors that come out.
At any point, if there are any queries, I have a host of people that I can e-mail and they're just so, so informative, so knowledgeable, come back really promptly, which is really appreciated. I can’t recommend NITE highly enough.
Hannah Burnett, Strategic Lead for Teacher Development, Insignis, 2025
Communication and support from the team at NITE has been excellent. We have an account manager who is readily available to answer any questions and provide important updates and the NITE team provide very useful documentation regarding key dates and DBS and Safeguarding checklists which are incredibly useful.
Training for our mentors has also been timely, organised and well received by our staff who found it accessible, easy to understand and clear in terms of exactly what was expected of them when mentoring a ITT trainee.
It has been great working with NITE so far and it was especially reassuring that they were keen to meet us in person at our HQ, introduce themselves and their roles, and offer further PD opportunities for our staff.
