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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
All the tutors were beyond great. I am so grateful to them all.
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.
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.
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 ☺️
I was a wonderful experience. Tutors, facilities, staff everything is excellent. I highly recommend it.
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.
The course provides a framework where teachers can learn how to design learner-centered lessons. I learned a lot thanks to my tutors who guided me along the way.
It was a really nice experience to take part in the course and it helped me a lot to improve my teaching skills.
I really had a great experience,My tutor Tom was second to none.I learnt alot.
The course was comprehensive and provided useful practical skills to implement in actual classrooms.
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.
Everything about tutors and center was perfect and it helped me to gain practical experiences.
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.
That was a wonderful experience!
I’m really happy for choosing ITI, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends. I enjoyed the discipline and professionalism.
It was a great opportunity for me to learn in an authentic and well-prepared course. Receiving informative and comprehensive feedback from tutors will definitely change teachers' attitude and practice toward teaching.
everything was organized, and easy to access which made preparing for the lessons much easier. I do wish working with the printers was explained more thoroughly maybe through visuals
This online course was one of the best that I have ever taken!
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.
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.
It was very useful, thank you
It was a really great experience to refresh my knowledge in English teaching and meeting new people.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
great experience
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. The CELTA course is a must for all English teachers for its practical usage. I've learnt a lot and received a precious experience.
I had great time there; it was a wonderful experience. The tutors were friendly and helpful and I learned a lot.
I was thrilled by the fantastic experience with amazing tutors.
Everything was fantastic and I enjoyed every second of my course. Tutors are amazing and knowledgable, and they have helped and guided us perfectly. If I could go back, I would choose ITI again for sure.
Helpful and detailed feedback from tutors
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
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.
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.
Tutors were very competent and knowledgeable. The course has helped provide a starting point for understanding teaching. I look forward to attending another.
It was an amazing experience studying with wonderful tutors especially Liz and Robyn.
Dear All, It was great experience with you. My main tutor, Joanne Bates, has been helpful and provided me with the needed and expected feedback and help. She also helped and pushed my limits as much as she could towards passing my LSAs. Thanks Joanne Bates and ITI for having such great tutors. 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 🙏
It was really intensive, but tutors were great and I learnt lots of useful techniques.
I am generally very satisfied; however, if we could have had more access to resources while writing assignments, it would have been much better.
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.
That was a fruitful experience and I took away a lot from Celta.
You made me understand the difference between the ITI and the other unprofessional training centres.
Everything was great. Huge experience.
It was amazing! I loved every bit about it.
Overall everything was great. Daria was one of the best tutors I have ever had! She was always there to help with any problem at any time.
I am truly happy to take this course here at ITI Istanbul. That was a great course with a great instructor. Mr.Godfrey accompanied us step by step throughout the course. Many thanks to Mr.Godfrey and ITI Istanbul.
It was an extraordinary experience. It makes me feel very confident in my teaching skills.
I am so glad to have this journey with you. I have improved my skills and Liz, Sena and Robyn helped me to reflect on myself throughout the process. I can't thank them enough.
A great experience!
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.
I am happy to choose ITI.
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.
Overall, it was a really engaging and promotional course.
Thank you in advance for presenting the course. The tutors were professional and could successfully engage us in the course. It was an invaluable experience, and I will appreciate the tutors' feedback, comments, and instructions. Even though we went through difficult times regarding the time limit for assignments and preparing TP lesson plans, it was worth it and made a big difference in my perspective regarding teaching English. Best regards,
It was a great course but every thing was kind of vague at the bigining and that was a bit stressful
My time at the institute was truly remarkable, even with the time constraints of the intensive course. The lessons I learned were incredibly valuable, and the tutors were always there to lend a helping hand. The fellow attendees were also amazing, and their support was always appreciated. It was a life-changing experience that opened my eyes to the world of teaching. Each tutor had their own unique perspective on language instruction, and I feel blessed to have met individuals like Mr. Mehdi and Ms. Alyona, who offered invaluable feedback that helped me progress towards my goals.
It was quite stressful and tiring, but I've learned and improved a lot thanks to this course. I'm happy that I've experienced it.
pleasant albeit stressful
Overally speaking the course has been a great experience and tutors were all helpful and knowledgeable. I had a great experience. Only wish the input sessions could all be held first thing in the morning since by the time we had our in put sessions in the afternoon we had already become mentally and physically fatigued. also it could have been much better if we had been treated with something to drink or eat as a snack.
It was a life-changing experience for me. Even though it was an extremely intensive course I enjoyed every moment of it and if I were to go back, I would still attend this CELTA course
Great
I do appreciate my trainer for teaching so many informative and practical lessons in both speaking and writing. Undoubtedly, I learned a lot of things that can be useful for my job prospects.
I had the most amazing weekend at ITI. The course was very well planned, so detailed. I did not want it to end :( Learnt a lot. Thank you all , our amazing Tutor Tom and everybody💜
Im glad Ive decided to take the course. The knowledge and experience I gained is completely worth it
I was so blessed to complete my CELTA from ITI. As I just stepped into the teaching industry it was my pleasure having such great mentors and tutors. ITI has marked the starting of my teaching and training career. And I was lucky to have tutors like Mr. Mehdi and Mrs Robyn who guided me through every step. We all spent such an amazing time and made so many new friends and made a family altogether. The journey was hard though but we could overcome it by each other's support especially Mr. Mehdi and Mrs. Robyn. I am so thankful to iti for making this journey so special. Thanks for everything. I just wish I could do the course offline as it would be more fun but yes we did enjoy the course online too. I would highly recommend ITI if anyone is doing their training. Thanks 😊😊
What an amazing experience! Doing the CELTA has been a life-changing experience for me. It helped me gain loads of new things related to teaching practices and terminologies that would definitely upgrade my teaching to the next level from now on. Moreover, I am glad that I have chosen ITI to do this course. The tutors were kind, helpful and supportive throughout the course and I have to admit that we have learned a lot from them. In addition, the STAFF as well have been nice, friendly and ready to help us whenever we needed anything. Finally, thanks to this experience I have been able to make new friends who were very kind and supportive especially in difficult times, and thanks to them the ITI felt like home.
Celta was an amazing course to me I have learned many things from Celta. My tutors were supportive and helpful. During the course, I faced a new world of teaching language and I will use all the methods in my teaching. Whenever I wanted something, I went to google classroom and all the materials took a place there and made my job easier because I had all the resources in one place and they were categorized well and accessibility to resources was perfect.
The course was very helpful and informative for teaching.
My experience was pretty satisfactory except for the fact that sometimes we got no students to teach during the TPs especially in the second stage. Tutors and staff were very professional and supportive and did a great job throughout the whole course to provide us with the necessary resources, guidance and assistance when needed inside and outside the ITI.
A very good experience
Overall, it was a satisfactory experience
The experience I gain during the course is rare and amazing thanks to my tutors. I believe this experience will lead a successful way to my future career.
A fantastic experience that led to reflection and self-discovery.
Thank you for your professional teachers. It was overall an exciting and amazing experience.
It was a wonderful experience which motivated me to change my attitude toward teaching entirely. The tutors have been a great inspiration. Every single thing I have learned from each of them has practical value and will help me advance in my carer.
The experience of participating in this course was great ! Thankful!
Thank you for the amazing experience.
Excellent
Everything was fine, except for some computers and speakers used to shut down in the middle of the lesson.
It was very good an helpful and to the point for teaching carreer development. Thank you.
Amazing!
All in all, the course was great but I wish we had more support from some of the tutors throughout the course as it was extremely demanding and I felt I needed more clarity at times.
It was an amazing experience. All the tutors were helpful and reachable 24/7 during our course. Personally, I have only a positive attitude towards your institution and do not regret choosing you over other institutes.
Thank you for everything, I would come back for other courses. I would like to have an opportunity to pass TKT but you rarely conduct this exam/ Also, to have an opportunity to do IH CAM course.
I took the online intensive course ,apart from being so difficult to write the assignments and lesson plans at the same time,the overall course was a valuable one.I've learned a lot during the course through the input sessions and tutors' feedback.The tutors were so helpful and supportive .You'll have enough chance to practice whatever you learned while having demo lessons.You just need to be totally free in order to have enough time to handle everything.I'm so glad that I took the course in ITI.
It was a very precious experience and one of the greatest challenges in my life. The practical orientation of the course gives all trainees a chance to implement the methodology and techniques into practice.
