The training center is located in Istanbul, the cultural and commercial center of Turkey. Founded in 1988, the center is equipped with 6 modern air-conditioned classrooms, a student lounge, internet access, and computers and printers for trainees.
The Istanbul center is well-staffed and organized to provide a pleasant learning environment for TEFL trainees. Student apartments are located within walking distance to the center, as are many of the great sights, restaurants, and shops of Istanbul!
Istanbul, Turkey
Turkey is a diverse and truly spectacular nation that has evolved under the influence of some of the most important empires of the Eastern and Western worlds. Relics from the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman Empires can be found across the country, and the Bosphorus Strait runs through Istanbul forming the border between Europe and Asia. This makes Istanbul the only major city in the world to span two continents!
As one of the world’s “most stylish cities,” Istanbul offers art galleries, chic restaurants, and trendy nightclubs mixed among historical Turkish hamam (bath houses), stately Byzantine churches, and exotic Ottoman mosques. Visitors can hop on a boat and cruise down the scenic Bosphorus Strait to take in the wooden villas, marble palaces, impressive fortresses, and small fishing villages that line the shores. No trip to the city is complete without a visit to the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, and home to a massive collection of pottery, jewelry, carpets, and spices.
| Teaching English in Turkey |
As with many nations, the people in Turkey understand the important role of the English language in international business. Most English teaching jobs are available in Istanbul; although there are language schools other cities. Jobs in Istanbul are typically English schools that cater to adults, while employment in primary schools can be more difficult to secure.
Most English teachers will work evenings and weekends, with the days free to explore. The salaries are reasonable, and the cost of living is very low, so you’ll have extra cash for exploring Istanbul, taking trips around the country, or maybe even purchasing a Turkish carpet! |

Comments from Istanbul

| I used to be frightened of the idea of teaching. This course gave me the know-how and self-confidence to reach the world of ESL. The course was very well-organized and the staff members were the dictionary definition of professional. The TEFL Center in Istanbul is very classy. How could anyone teach ESL effectively without taking such a course?

| I grew immensely as a teacher and I know that the skills I've gained will be applicable to more than the classroom. The teaching practice was extremely useful; it is the best way to learn how to teach. |
