Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.

It was a wonderful journey with great teachers and innovative teaching methods.Celta at ITI,Istanbul was a fun and a dream come true for me.I wish all the best to this institute.
Everything was really good.
It was a comprehensive, useful, and effective course. I learned a lot of materials that I plan to use in my teaching. The course supervisor, Ms. Liz, was very knowledgeable and insightful. I am grateful for her efforts.
I think that this course was very helpful for my self improvement as an English teacher.
To tell the truth, I couldn't imagine how a teacher can work in zoom like yours, I mean breakout rooms and how the lesson plan and its analysis can be oranized in detailes. I mastered my teaching skills greatly. I am very lucky to have such tutors like Liz and Ozlem. They are really great!!! Thank you for sharing your experience!!! Happy New Year!!!
The ITI CELTA Bootcamp was an incredibly informative and engaging course. The sessions were well-structured, and the trainer provided practical strategies that I can apply to my teaching. However, I do wish the course could have been extended with more hours, as there was so much valuable content that could have been covered and practiced further. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to participate.
The course was an incredibly valuable and enriching experience. The content was well-structured, practical, and highly informative, providing me with the knowledge and skills I needed. A special mention goes to the tutors, particularly Liz and Tom, who played a key role in making the learning journey so effective. Their expertise, guidance, and dedication were outstanding, and they went above and beyond to support us throughout the course. Thanks to this experience, I feel confident and well-prepared to teach. The skills and insights I gained have equipped me to take on this new role with enthusiasm and competence. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in designing and delivering this course—it truly made a difference!
My experience on the CELTA course with ITI has been incredibly rewarding. It gave me practical teaching techniques and valuable strategies to engage learners, especially non-native English speakers. The course was well-structured, and the trainers were extremely supportive and knowledgeable, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Overall, it’s been a great learning journey that has equipped me with the skills to make my classes more interactive and effective, and I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned in my teaching career moving forward.
The experience was enriching and rewarding.
I had an amazing experience completing the CELTA Online course with ITI. The program was well-organized, and everything ran smoothly. The tutors were not only highly skilled but also genuinely supportive, always providing insightful feedback that made a real impact. I want to give special thanks to my main course tutor, Liz. Her patience, continuous support, and clear guidance helped us tackle the most challenging parts of the course and turned them into valuable learning experiences. I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into helping us, as well as the positive and encouraging atmosphere she created throughout the entire program. ITI has fostered such a welcoming and professional environment; it truly felt like the ideal place to grow and develop as a teacher. I'm so grateful to have been part of this program, and I would highly recommend ITI to anyone considering the CELTA.
It was a great course! I would like to thank our tutors(especially Liz and Özlem. They are wonderful). Also, I enjoyed our students. They were very nice and kind. I wish the ITI all the best. It was an honour to be the participant of the course.
It is well-organized useful course. Most of the tutors are so helpful and supportive has provided assistance to the students throughout the course which is relief for them.
It was such an incredible experience for me! It’s more unique and useful than my 4 years at university!!! Special thanks to Mr.Kamali and ITI
I am genuinely thankful for the knowledge imparted during this course. The expertly designed curriculum offered unwavering support during challenges, and greatly enriched my understanding. I have gained crucial insights into the CELTA requirements that will empower my teaching journey moving forward.
Everything was great. Happy to see that there is pre-celta online course. For me, it's so important. Also using Google classroom and zoom is an excellent choice. In the end, Mr.Kamali is second to none.
It was a great time with my tutor, he was really kind and passionate, I learned many things from him
The course has been highly benefinicial! Thank you!
When I first considered registering for this course, I had many doubts about whether I would learn something useful and practical. Now that weeks have passed, I've learned many new things and been exposed to ideas that have made me think about simpler but more important concepts. Having taught learners of all ages, I never considered the actual roles of educators and learners and the effect these roles have on outcomes. I always measured the success of my classes by checking if all the theoretical steps and procedures of teaching were followed. After attending this course, I've realized that teaching is much more than just transferring knowledge and information to learners. I tried to apply every new piece of information I learned throughout the course to my classes daily, and I was surprised to see how creating an environment where trust is built, self-awareness is increased, and relationships are affirmed can enhance the learning process for learners. Overall, I now have a completely different opinion compared to what I initially thought. I believe this course was exactly what I needed, especially as I have felt lost, burnt out, and confused about how to bond and connect with my students and remain academically and emotionally engaged with them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course at ITI thanks to the dedication of the professional and caring tutors and staff.
It was a pleasure meeting some new people and learning from them. Even though it was a difficult time I can say I learned a lot.
It was a fantastic experience which gave me a different view of learning and teaching.
A very good and challenging experience
In overall it was a nice experience to have.
I really enjoyed from the course. I learned a lot. Thanks for everything.
To be more specific, I learned a lot from the CELTA course - lesson planning, critical thinking, managing time, managing finncial issues, learner involvement, and new teaching techniques. Moreover, ITI staff and peers were really reliable and helpful.
I really appreciate profound insights given by our tutors and highly recommend taking CELTA in ITI.
It's really good to have the opportunity to get such an amazing education and certification in a month, but everything has a price. Not just financially but also mentally, emotionally and physically you have to pay for it. Don't do the intensive course if you like your mental health.
Amazing experience! Everything was way better than what I expected. The academic atmosphere and the professional tutors were unforgettable.
Even though I has tesol course in 2004. I got a chance to update my teaching techniques
It was a great experiecne,this amazing course helped me develope my teaching skills,moreover, the tutors unwavering support made me feel more confidence to consider taking Celta .I will join you soon.
I was totally influenced by such a dedicated tutors. It was an awsome experience and I've achieved a lot from this wonderful course.
This is my second time working with this center, and i would highly recommend it to anyone who is planning to take Delta modules. I am incredibly grateful to the tutors (especially Elna❤️), who supported us at every stage of the course, ensuring we received detailed feedback and ample guidance.
I did online Delta Module 1 at ITI. The tutors were incredibly supportive and they answered all our questions patiently. The sessions were helpful as well. I enjoyed being a learner again. I recommend ITI to everyone who wants to do any type of teacher training.
I've done online DELTA Module 1 course, so my rating of facilities and location is biased:) Concerning the course, this is really well-organized, I learnt a lot with the help of tutors, especially Joanne and Liz are high-class tutors, they know the subject at their excellence. Thanks the whole ITI personnel for your assistance and cooperation.
I’m really happy with how my CELTA went. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and I’m satisfied with the progress I made.
It's an engaging course which provides plenty of resources. Tutors are experienced and helpful. Thank you!
It has been a wonderful experience.
The course materials are very detailed and well planned. The practice papers are extremely helpful.
This course taught and helped me a lot to know more about my weaknesses and strengths. Working in groups, different activities and teaching method and materials all were useful and enough. Assignments also were very helpful. Mr. Kamali was so supportive and kind. A real teacher!
Although I discovered this online CELTA preparation bootcamp course entirely by chance, I truly believe I was meant to join it. The experience has been incredibly enriching, thanks to the well-structured course content and the guidance of Mehdi Kamali, a tutor whose teaching exemplified everything the program stands for. He is, without a doubt, the most attentive and dedicated teacher I have ever encountered. With this remarkable experience behind me, I am excited to begin my CELTA journey at ITI, where I hope to create lasting memories.
The course was excellent, and I am very grateful to you and Mr. Mahdi Kamali.
I want to thank you for all the experiences that you shared with me. It was an amazing course that I had with Mr.Kamali and you.
The class was engaging and informative. I feel more confident in my teaching abilities and excited to apply what I've learned in the classroom. The tutor's insightful feedback, patience, and encouragement have made a significant difference in my learning and teaching journey. I truly appreciate his dedication to our success and the engaging lessons he facilitated.
I learned a lot in a very short time. Tutors were always ready to help. I think I have improved a lot with their feedback and guidance. Therefore, it was a very useful course experience for me.
It was a great learning experience. Our tutors did their best to provide a unique learning opportunity.
It was a great experience yet challenging! We had our good and bad days. I learned a lot from tutors, peers and learners.
The course was absolutely challenging, but I learned so much.
It was an amazing experience. I love meeting new people from all around the world and CELTA has given me the chance to work with a group of diverse professionals. The course has also helped me focus more on my strengths as a teacher and explore different ways to improve my teaching skills.
This has been an amazing and fulfilling journey and learning experience. I am extremely grateful for all the support i have received from my tutors.
It was a great experience!!
The entire flow of the program was 'excellent'. Although , I have decided to withdrawn only 3 days before the end-line , I have learnt a lot . Bunch of thanks !
Overall, I found the content of the course very useful but I found some aspects of the website confusing: 1. There seemed to be no obvious place to enter the course easily (at first - until I discovered the mysterious "arrow"!) 2. The tasks often took much longer than expected because of technical difficulties such as being unable to log in on more than one occasion. 3. Sometimes it was very difficult to get in contact with the other participants, mainly because their email addresses were not in an obvious place - at least to me! Most of the tasks were not insurmountable, but I found it quite stressful to analyse teachers' performance with so many criteria to consider. This is no-one else's fault; just an observation about myself!
Highly recommend. Truly a great experience. Professional tutors and staff, yet kind and considerate. Lovely environment.
It was an amazing chance that I could ever have. My teaching skills have improved a lot and I am more satisfied with myself now. Special thanks to my tutors
I thoroughly enjoyed my CELTA course experience, and it was made even better by the incredible support from the tutors. Their guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback were invaluable, helping me to grow as a teacher and gain confidence in the classroom. The course was challenging yet rewarding, and the tutors’ expertise and dedication made all the difference, inspiring me to push myself and develop my skills. I feel well-prepared to continue my teaching journey thanks to this positive and enriching experience.
The course was a bit stressful..although it was worth it now when it's completed. The tutors did their best. Suppose it's the part of the course but I wish the pressure would be lower. Finally managed to get through.
Totally the TOT course was great full of new methods and fruitful for me. Really enjoyed from this course. Special thanks to Dear Tom and professional team. Hope to cooperate with you as a trainer or one of your branches in Iran very soon.
The course was exceptionally well-prepared, with a strong focus on interaction, feedback, and collaboration. This approach fostered a dynamic environment where we could actively share our insights and experiences, enriching the learning process for everyone involved. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Tom Godfrey, our coach, whose expertise and guidance were instrumental throughout the course. The material he presented was both relevant and pedagogically sound, emphasizing experiential learning and training methods that deepened our understanding and equipped us with practical skills. His thoughtful, hands-on approach resonated with us and added immense value to the overall training. In summary, this course has been an invaluable experience, and I’m grateful for the knowledge and skills I’ve gained. Thank you to everyone involved for creating such an engaging and insightful program. PS I cannot rate the facilities nor the location as the course was fully online.
The course was not bad but the evaluation was highly subjective and the center was crowded.
Best tutors in one of the best cities in the world makes the intensive course easy.
The experience was informative and fun despite being challenging and tiresome due to the workload. The resources available to us were sufficient, and the tutors were enthusiastically helpful and kind whenever we approached them with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for everything, it was satisfactory and I am happy that I chose ITI, nice people, supportive tutors, great environment to learn and develop
It was an intensive but effective course and I’m pleased that I took this course.
It was alright. These changes would improve the experience: -The ACs were old, the rooms needed better ventilation. -The library needs an actual wall instead of a curtain so you don’t hear the class being taught right next to it. -The sitting area next to the canteen is small, uncomfortable and sort of dark. -The staff either spoke English or was warm and accommodating. Positives: -Everything was kept clean and tidy at all times, which was nice. -The teaching supply provided was adequate. -The tutors were smart and good at their jobs.
It was one of my best experiences. This place is so clean and you have access to library.the atmosphere is so friendly,only problem is cafeteria. You have a few options and no food or snack for lunch
All in all I was satisfied with the tutors and everything. They were supportive and help us to improve.
It was one of the most efficient experiences I have ever had. I learned a lot and gained different perspectives for my teaching career. However, input sessions could have been the first ten days of the course without TPs. After finishing and internalizing the input sessions, we could have executed TPS to be more aware of the techniques
It was a good experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally, as well as it allowed me to meet people from different parts of the world and build strong relationships with them.
It was amazing experience and I would love to do it over and over again, wonderful tutors, a friendly environment, intense but totally worth it.
Doing the CELTA course at ITI was a great experience. As a novice teacher, I learned a lot and improved myself. All the tutors were great and very helpful. Thanks to their informative and comprehensive feedback, I managed to gain a different perspective toward teaching. I highly recommend doing the CELTA at ITI to anyone who wants to have a solid foundation in terms of their teaching skills!
A very challenging experience.
I had a great CELTA learning journey with well-experienced tutors who never hesitated to help the candidates and offered good and effective solutions to better methods to be applied to the lessons. Also, the staff were nice and fun and always provided what we needed when we needed it. Thank you so much to all of them!
CELTA at ITI was such a rewarding journey for me. The beauty of this course is that you meet with exceptional tutors who take your learning experience to another level with their expertise and engaging input sessions. Thank you everyone for this outstanding opportunity!
FANTASTIC
Amazing experience. Couldnt have asked for better tutors and better staff.
I really liked everything in ITI. The only thing I didn't find helpful was watching videos of highly experienced teachers. It was too boring, felt outdated, and took a lot of time to watch and take notes. I would have preferred face-to-face interactions with the tutors instead, as I believe that would have been much more useful.
Everything was up to par. Mrs. Elna was really helpful throughout the course.
It was a brilliant experience! Thank you so much for your professionalism and your warm hospitality
I've done CELTA online and I would like to say that it is the most effective course in learning teaching I've ever taken. I want to thank Main Course Tutor Zahra Kermani for the perfect course organization online, my Tutors Olga Atayeva and Selen Şirin Dülger, they were so helpful during the course. In general, all Tutors are highly professional and they supported us a lot. I'm going to do DELTA with ITI in the forthcoming future.
EXCELLENT course! The tutors were great, and very professional. NO complaints
I liked the tutors. They are very knowledgeable, they are always ready to give advice.
Overall the tutors and staff has been very helpful from the beginning. The online full time course was intense but that was expected. Glad I’ve done it at ITI. Can’t say anything about the location or the facilities, as I haven’t seen it. Apart from that it was great experience, I had a positive experience and wish the same for everyone.
The course was very well-organized and professionally delivered. The tutors were supportive and accessible for help. While the input sessions were great, the most indispensable things of the course were the teaching practice and tutor's and peers' feedback afterwards, for which I'm really grateful to everyone. It was definitely useful for my professional development.
It was an intensive but very fruitful journey.
It was an amazing journey filled with mixed emotions. I've learned a lot thanks to my tutors.
Everything was perfect. There were lots of pressure and stress but still our students, tutors and colleagues made everything manageable. It was the longest one month I have ever had and it worths. Such an amazing experience and I recommend it to everyone.
My experience on this course was amazing, everything went smoothly, everyone was helpful and everything was well put together. I am thankful for everything.
The course was very hard work but it was well worth it. The tutors were fantastic and provided support and help, and were available to answer any questions.
It was a great experience. Excellent tutors and very organised and professional.
Before starting the course I was nervous not to manage or predictions that it will be hard to deal with. But whenever there is supportive and a kind approach you feel confident and and make sure that you can do in the best way.The course was intensive, sometimes TPs and submission of assignments overlap,that was hard to deal with. But nothing is impossible, working diligently and following our tutors' instructions we managed. That was a really valuable experience . I got motivated and inspired, believing in my teaching skills and abilities. I am looking forward to joining DELTA.
The tutors are very knowledgeable and well-informed. They were really supportive throughout the course.
From the first day to the last, everything about the course was fantastic. It was a very challenging month, but looking at what I've gained in such a short time, I think it was worth it. Our tutors set the bar high, pushing and encouraging us. Each of them is an exceptional educator, and I feel particularly lucky to have had Figen Tutor and Mehdi Tutor with me on this journey. Overall, I feel stronger and more equipped as an English teacher.
The course I took was in person and short-term, so there was not enough time to focus more on the materials or the content of the input sessions. Generally, I appreciate ITI's gathering different people worldwide to communicate and reach this amazing experience.
As a teacher and a trainer, I found this course very useful not only for academic reasons but also for my personal development. It was also great to communicate and collaborate with teachers from different cultures. This was one of the unique academic experiences I've had. Thanks to dear Dr. Tom Godfrey for sharing his expertise in such a creative and modest way with us all.
It was very good. I wish you the best
The CELTA course was the best experience ITI İstanbul is a great place if your thinking about taking the course The tutors are lovely and the environment is so good Be prepared for a lot of work if your doing the intensive training Above all a 10/10
I had a challenging experience, but it is a great one. Taking the CELTA course has changed my teaching approach. I have learnt many new teaching aspects from the dedicated tutors. Thank you... thanks ITI
It was a very eye-opening course with very friendly tutors.
I had a great experience with ITI. Tutors are great professionals, always ready to give feedback and advice.
The location is very good since it’s close to the metro and there are many places to eat around at lunch time,,staff were very friendly and helpful,our tutors as well.they not only have the knowledge and patience required but also help you in difficult times.
