School Overview

School Description

ITI is an internationally recognised Cambridge English teacher training centre and the only Cambridge English approved centre for both the CELTA, ICELT and Delta courses in Turkey. We've successfully trained thousands of EFL teachers since we first began running courses in Istanbul in 1987. We have part-time, full-time and on-line options.

Accommodation

A variety of accommodation options are available, upon request

Location Overview

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.

Student Reviews

Words most commonly used to describe this centre


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.

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

All in all I was satisfied with the tutors and everything. They were supportive and help us to improve.

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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!

, CELTA student,

A very challenging experience.

, CELTA student,

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 student,

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!

, CELTA student,

FANTASTIC

, CELTA student,

Amazing experience. Couldnt have asked for better tutors and better staff.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

Everything was up to par. Mrs. Elna was really helpful throughout the course.

, DELTA Module 3 student,

It was a brilliant experience! Thank you so much for your professionalism and your warm hospitality

, CELTA student,

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.

, Workshops - How To Help Learners Build Writing Skills Habits student,

EXCELLENT course! The tutors were great, and very professional. NO complaints

, CELTA Online student,

I liked the tutors. They are very knowledgeable, they are always ready to give advice.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

It was an intensive but very fruitful journey.

, CELTA Online student,

It was an amazing journey filled with mixed emotions. I've learned a lot thanks to my tutors.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

My experience on this course was amazing, everything went smoothly, everyone was helpful and everything was well put together. I am thankful for everything.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

It was a great experience. Excellent tutors and very organised and professional.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, Workshops - Community Forums student,

The tutors are very knowledgeable and well-informed. They were really supportive throughout the course.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, Other - Developing Facilitation Skills for Teachers, Trainers and Educators Masterclass student,

It was very good. I wish you the best

, Other - Developing Facilitation Skills for Teachers, Trainers and Educators Masterclass student,

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

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

It was a very eye-opening course with very friendly tutors.

, Other - Developing Facilitation Skills for Teachers, Trainers and Educators Masterclass student,

I had a great experience with ITI. Tutors are great professionals, always ready to give feedback and advice.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

Thank you for the course! I’m glad that I chose the ITI school for my CELTA course. I will definitely recommend it to anyone interested in CELTA.

, CELTA student,

I didn't rate the facilities and the location since it was an online CELTA course. Liz and Zahra, the tutors, were great. They provided the course participants with such practical and specific feedback that I learned much more from them than from other in-service trainings or PD events. The Moodle platform could benefit from an upgrade. Including more examples or sample work for the assignments would be very helpful. The assignments part of the course, in particular, was the most disappointing part. The CELTA course was overall very beneficial. Thank you so much, ITI!

, CELTA student,

The tutors were understanding and helpful throughout the course. Being observed and receiving feedback for my lessons and assignments was a valuable experience. I also found many of the things I learned throughout the course to be useful and have practical value.

, CELTA student,

In general, the course is productive. The input sessions and the tutors are all great but the tutors should focus on the exam practice in the sessions rather than spending too much time on theoretical parts. We didn’t have much practice for the exam. Also, information flow was problematic towards the end of the course. We couldn’t receive any email about weekly lesson planning from the tutors. They replied our emails very late. Additionally, some instructions in exam practices were ambiguous and it affected our scores. Lastly, some of the links in the documents and on Moodle are inaccessible since they are not working any longer. They should be updated.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

Having done both Module 1 and 2 with ITI, I feel very comfortable with the tutors. They are highly knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for all of their efforts!

, DELTA Module 2 student,

It was such an experience ! Had a chance to be a learner again and decorated my room with many new assets. I'd like to convey my sincere gratitute to Tom Godfrey for such comprehensive program.

, Other - Teaching Artistry for Teachers and Educators student,

All the tutors were beyond great. I am so grateful to them all.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

It was a great experience from which I learned a lot, it was an eye opener to conduct researches and continue learning new teaching strategies. As well, it shows clearly, the importance of connected speech, to which we do not pay a great deal of intention. Moreover, Having such a tutor as Joane, will always motivate me to have more courses in ITI.

, Workshops - The ELT Life Cycle student,

Everyone at the institute was super friendly and helpful. The layout of the classrooms and the library was very good. I wish to come back for other workshops and courses.

, CELTA student,

Such a lovely place, such lovely faces! 😊 It was really great to spend my time learning teaching techniques at ITI. I strongly recommend this center to anyone living anywhere around the world. It was tough to catch up with every task, and personally, I worked really hard to achieve the goals. All that being said, it was rewarding and the tutors were available night and day to support us. Thank you ITI ☺️

, CELTA student,

I was a wonderful experience. Tutors, facilities, staff everything is excellent. I highly recommend it.

, CELTA student,

Initially, I was hesitant due to its demanding reputation, but I found the CELTA course to be an exceptional experience. My tutors, Liz and Zahra, were amazing—supportive, experienced, and patient. Their insightful feedback was invaluable in my growth as a teacher. I highly recommend CELTA to anyone looking to enhance their teaching skills.

A very beneficial opportunity to self-reflect for those who want to attend the course with prior teaching experience. Thanks for everything.

, CELTA student,

The CELTA course at Level Istanbul was a phenomenal experience. The curriculum was thorough and engaging, covering all essential aspects of teaching English as a second language. What truly made the course outstanding were the tutors. Their professionalism, expertise, and supportive nature exceeded all expectations, making the challenging process both manageable and enjoyable. The facilities were top-notch, providing a great environment for learning. Overall, I'm incredibly happy to have attended this course at Level Istanbul and feel well-prepared for my teaching career.

Thank you for everything.

, CELTA Online student,

Everything about tutors and center was perfect and it helped me to gain practical experiences.

, CELTA student,

I'm really happy that I participated in the CELTA course. Before the CELTA course, I didn't know much about teaching although I've been a teacher for two years. During the course, I really developed my teaching skills and now I know that I'm a better teacher.

, Workshops - How to measure achievement and perform assessment student,

That was a wonderful experience!

, CELTA Online student,

I had a great time in ITI with the great,knowledgeable, experienced, kind and supportive tutors. I learned a lot about how to be a better and organized teacher. I really thank all my tutors.

, CELTA Online student,

ITI has been the greatest factor in my personal development journey. I've completed all of my courses at ITI, including TKT, CELTA, Train the Trainer, some smaller courses, and now I'm currently continuing with DELTA Module 1. They always prepare and design all the courses very professionally, whether it's online or face-to-face; it doesn't matter. The resources, videos, materials, and topics are all well-planned. Because the tutors here are masters of their craft, I make sure to take all the courses without hesitation or second-guessing. I'm eagerly looking forward to implementing what I've learned here in my own classroom.

, Other - Teaching Artistry for Teachers and Educators student,

It was very useful, thank you

, DELTA Module 2 student,

It was a really great experience to refresh my knowledge in English teaching and meeting new people.

, CELTA student,

I had a brilliant experience studying CELTA at ITI. I was lucky to run into an extremely wonderful group of people that made my experience worthwhile. ITI offers top notch facilities to its students in every way.

, CELTA student,

Even though it was an intense program, I was happy that I was able to share all the ups and downs with my peers. Our tutors were kind and helpful, the feedbacks we got definitely took our teaching practices to the next level. Also having the higher and lower levels with different tutors and students was a really nice opportunity. I loved the schedule, everything made sense and it was fun. Assignments were not so helpful in my opinion and the video observations could have been more updated. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m grateful that I was a part of it.

, CELTA student,

I don't regret choosing ITI in the slightest. The tutors were beyond competent and the facilities complimented the overall experience by rendering everything accessible.

, CELTA student,

The course was as expected: rigorous and intensive. I was carrying loads of self doubt and was working 14h a day. However, it all made sense and the puzzle started forming, in the last 10 days. Only then, I realized how many new skills and approaches I had learned and the cheer neurological rewiring I had undergone. I learned a lot and made some wonderful friendships. I would love to do it again!

, CELTA student,

ITI's preparation course for DELTA's module 1 was amazing. The teachers showed great expertise, and they were always very helpful. The content of the course was exactly what a DELTA candidate needs, particularly the exam practice offered every week, I am thankful as not only was it helpful but also feedback was given back on time.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

great experience

, CELTA student,

Thanks to a wonderful ITI team for their warm welcome and hospitality. The staff are friendly, the tutors are professional, the learners are nice and the peers are the best.

Helpful and detailed feedback from tutors

, Workshops - Managing Teacher Talking Time student,

I want to thank our experienced professional tutors Robyn, Liz and Zahra who have a good command of knowledge in Celta materials and methodology. Everything was on time as promised, Esi

, CELTA Online student,

The experience is unforgettable. When I started the course, I felt very nervous because I couldn't figure out how to use Moodle and the site had bugs and didn't work properly. I was surprised at how supportive the tutors turned out to be in this situation. Whenever I messaged Elizabeth, she responded immediately. Throughout the whole course Elizabeth and Zara were there to help. As for the content of the course, generally, I'm happy with it. The only thing I would suggest is making all forums optional. Students don't have enough time to post anything and check others' posts.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a wonderful experience in which I learned a lot..after CELTA course is definitely different than beforr CELTA course. Thanks to the institute, the Admins, and the best tutors.

, CELTA Online student,

It was an amazing experience studying with wonderful tutors especially Liz and Robyn.

My second tutor was Elna, has also been a great tutor and provided me with help and feedback to push me towards passing my first LSA. Thanks all for your help and support 🙏

, DELTA Module 2 student,

It was really intensive, but tutors were great and I learnt lots of useful techniques.

, CELTA Online student,

I am generally very satisfied; however, if we could have had more access to resources while writing assignments, it would have been much better.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a very remarkable experience. It was a kind of school that could make great contributions to you, especially with its tutor support and rich content.

, CELTA Online student,

That was a fruitful experience and I took away a lot from Celta.

, CELTA Online student,

You made me understand the difference between the ITI and the other unprofessional training centres.

, CELTA Online student,

A great experience!

, CELTA Online student,

I took the online course and my only issue was that the lesson units on moodle were outdated and even though we were studying online they didn’t contain any information about teaching that way. My tutors were fantastic in this course I learned a lot from my live classes, feedback sessions and observations. The staff were super nice and helpful they made sure everyone was comfortable with the time of teaching and live classes and they would make changes if necessary.

, CELTA Online student,

I am happy to choose ITI.

, Workshops - How to measure achievement and perform assessment student,

ITI presented a great course and tutors and staff were very helpful. I am very happy that I've chosen this center to do CELTA. I definitely recommend ITI Istanbul to future CELTA candidates.
