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


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.

, DELTA Module 3 student,

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.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

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.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

The course materials are very detailed and well planned. The practice papers are extremely helpful.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

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!

, TEFL - ITI CELTA Bootcamp student,

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.

, TEFL - ITI CELTA Bootcamp student,

The course was excellent, and I am very grateful to you and Mr. Mahdi Kamali.

, TEFL - ITI CELTA Bootcamp student,

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.

, TEFL - ITI CELTA Bootcamp student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a great learning experience. Our tutors did their best to provide a unique learning opportunity.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a great experience yet challenging! We had our good and bad days. I learned a lot from tutors, peers and learners.

, CELTA Online student,

The course was absolutely challenging, but I learned so much.

, Workshops - The ELT Life Cycle student,

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.

, Workshops - Teaching Grammar Comunicatively student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a great experience!!

, CELTA Online student,

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 !

, Workshops - Teaching Grammar Comunicatively student,

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!

, Workshops - Impact of gamification on vocabulary learning student,

Highly recommend. Truly a great experience. Professional tutors and staff, yet kind and considerate. Lovely environment.

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, Workshops - Differentiation in Large Classes student,

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.

, ITI Train the Trainer student,

The course was not bad but the evaluation was highly subjective and the center was crowded.

, CELTA student,

Best tutors in one of the best cities in the world makes the intensive course easy.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

It was an intensive but effective course and I’m pleased that I took this course.

, CELTA student,

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.

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.

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

, 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
