Becoming an approved NTP
Tuition Partner
Become an approved Tuition Partner with the National Tutoring Programme
Tuition providers who wish to deliver any form of tuition as part of the NTP must apply to become an approved NTP Tuition Partner.
As the quality assurance partner for the National Tutoring Programme (NTP), Tribal works closely with the Department for Education (DfE) and the tutoring sector to deliver a robust quality assurance process for approval and ongoing reviews of Tuition Partners. This ensures the delivery of high-quality tuition and the best possible experience for schools and pupils.
We invite you to join the National Tutoring Programme as an approved Tuition Partner.
Tribal's approach to Quality Assurance is one of collaboration. We work closely with the tutoring sector to build a supportive culture. Together, we are developing a community, enabling the sharing of best practice and fostering continuous growth and improvement.
Using the Quality Assurance framework, Tribal asses all new Tuition Partners prior to acceptance onto the approved Find a Tuition Partner service. Tuition Partners are then quality assured annually to ensure continued quality of tutoring and learning outcomes for pupils.
The application process
1. Download and review the Tuition Partner Framework Criteria, Framework Template and Guidance Handbook. These include guidance to support you with the evidence required for your application.
2. Create an account on our secure eAccreditation Portal.
Follow the prompts to submit your organisation’s details, pricing information, tuition offer and delivery location before proceeding to the Framework stage.
Upload evidence aligned to the Tuition Partner Framework Criteria across three elements: Organisation, Safeguarding & Safer Recruitment, and Quality of Provision. Robust evidence against each criterion will be required to be eligible for consideration to become a Tuition Partner.
3. The full application review process will be completed within 20 working days (excluding public holidays).
* If you are a sole proprietor, please send us an enquiry at NTP@tribalgroup.com, with 'sole proprietor' as the subject line.
Please note: the application reviewing process will adjourn over the festive period from Friday, 15th December until Tuesday, 2nd January. We encourage Tuition Organisations to submit their applications well in advance of this to avoid delay. Any applications 'in progress' during this time will be temporarily paused. Thank you.
