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


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. The CELTA course is a must for all English teachers for its practical usage. I've learnt a lot and received a precious experience.

, CELTA student,

I had great time there; it was a wonderful experience. The tutors were friendly and helpful and I learned a lot.

, CELTA student,

I was thrilled by the fantastic experience with amazing tutors.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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,

Tutors were very competent and knowledgeable. The course has helped provide a starting point for understanding teaching. I look forward to attending another.

, Workshops - ITI Webinar Empowering Teachers through Social and Emotional Learning student,

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

, CELTA Online student,

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 🙏

, 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.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

Everything was great. Huge experience.

, CELTA student,

It was an extraordinary experience. It makes me feel very confident in my teaching skills.

, 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.

, CELTA student,

Overall, it was a really engaging and promotional course.

, CELTA student,

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,

, CELTA student,

It was a great course but every thing was kind of vague at the bigining and that was a bit stressful

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

pleasant albeit stressful

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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

, CELTA student,

Great

, CELTA student,

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.

, Short Courses - Developing Productive Skills: Speaking and Writing student,

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💜

, Short Courses - Developing Productive Skills: Speaking and Writing student,

Im glad Ive decided to take the course. The knowledge and experience I gained is completely worth it

, CELTA Online student,

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 😊😊

, CELTA Online student,

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 student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

The course was very helpful and informative for teaching.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA student,

A very good experience

, CELTA student,

Overall, it was a satisfactory experience

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

Amazing!

, ITI Train the Trainer student,

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.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA Online student,

The course was very good, tutors were very helpful along with the administrative personnel there.

, CELTA student,

It was one of the most useful courses I have taken so far. You are amazing! 9

, DELTA Module 1 student,

Elna, my tutor, was extremely supportive and helpful. The overall course was smooth and well-planned and feedback on our work was given in a timely fashion.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

Thank you so much, I totally enjoyed the course. The classes were very professionally tought and engaging. Even if I fail the exam itself, I will still have no regrets of taking the course 😊

, DELTA Module 1 student,

I am very satisfied with the course, it met my expectations. The tutors were really supportive, I am really grateful to them.

, CELTA student,

It was an incredible experience! Thank you so much for providing us this opportunity to learn and grow!

, CELTA student,

It was a challenging and very educational course. The teaching practice and the feedbacks will be most useful in the upcoming years.

, CELTA student,

It was the best and most effective experience that I’ve ever had in terms of my job. Although it takes relatively short time, it is incredibly effective. This course helped me be more confident and motivated about my job. Also, observing my colleagues and my tutors made me realize my style as a teacher. It was precious.

, Short Courses - Community Forums: Participatory Approaches to Professional Development student,

The course was great. I have no other words to describe it. I’ve learned a lot here and I have enjoyed working around great individuals.

, CELTA student,

I am very satisfied with the quality of tutoring I received during this course. The feedback was extremely helpful and the fact that we will be enrolled on the distance course in autumn free of charge is a cherry on the cake

, DELTA Module 1 student,

The experience is unforgettable! I really enjoyed the course, though it was challenging at times. But the whole thing was totally worth it!

, CELTA student,

The course was intense, which is exactly what I paid for and expected. I was very happy with the quality of the inputs and tutors. If I had to make any recommendations it would be for more input sessions and perhaps some teaching practice sessions to test out our plans before they are used for the LSAs but I'm not sure how possible that is. Overall, a really well executed course.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

It was a very nice course and I learned a lot.

, CELTA student,

I liked the people. Both the teachers and students.

, CELTA Online student,

I learned SO much during the CELTA training! It was very intense, but very rewarding. I made so many friends and the staff and tutors were very helpful!

, CELTA student,

The course was amazing, But the instruction in the begining was not clear to me, as I wasn't familiar with google classroom😞

, CELTA student,

It was an amazing course. I learned new methods of teaching.

, CELTA student,

It wad a great experience that changed my perspective on teaching English forever and made me a much better teacher.

, CELTA student,

The course was effective and beneficial. The practical part was very helpful. I just wish there was more time. I know I would have done better if I had more time to let the information sinks in and think about things in CELTA way.

, CELTA student,

Despite the difficulties we faced changing our old habits of teaching, it was a great experience with a lot of knowledge and skills. Everything was really amazing and the staff members were incredibly helpful.

, CELTA student,

It was an exceptional experience and I'd like to thank everyone at ITI Istanbul once more for everything.

, CELTA student,

It was definitely a very helpful experience and a good course I learned many things.

, CELTA student,

It was a wonderful jump into the practical teaching experience with fruitful feedbacks and input sessions!

, CELTA student,

The course was certainly very useful, gave me a lot and totally changed my perspective on teaching. I appreciated the focus on practical teaching and clear feedback and guidance from our tutors. However, I believe the course could have been even more effective if the first 3 weeks hadn't been so dizzyingly intensive. I clearly needed more time to digest the information I was recieving. The last week was, on the contrary, disproportionately relaxed. I think the work load could have been distributed more evenly. Another thing that could be impoved is the Internet which was very slow. The overall impression of the course is very positive though.

, CELTA student,

The course totally was ok but some of the facilities in the library needs improvement

, CELTA student,

Overall, I found taking CELTA course at ITI a very successful experience and believe what took away from the course was well worth the time, energy and the tuition. I would like to especially extend my gratitude to Mr. Mehdi Kamali for his impecable role as a true mentor who modestly yet effectively guided us to learn and apply what we've learned throughtout the course. Besides, the harmonious combination of TPs, input sessions and written assignments brought great productivity to the course.
