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


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,

A fantastic experience that led to reflection and self-discovery.

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

Thank you for your professional teachers. It was overall an exciting and amazing experience.

, CELTA Online student,

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.

, CELTA student,

The experience of participating in this course was great ! Thankful!

, CELTA student,

Thank you for the amazing experience.

, CELTA student,

Excellent

, Workshops - How to Make a Successful Presentation student,

Everything was fine, except for some computers and speakers used to shut down in the middle of the lesson.

, CELTA student,

It was very good an helpful and to the point for teaching carreer development. Thank you.

, 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

, CELTA Online student,

It was a very intensive and challenging course. It was very informative and changed my thinking on teaching students. The tutors were providing valuable feedback on improving teaching methodology.

, Workshops - Scaffolding - when how and why student,

Such an amazing experience with supportive tutors and kind colleagues. I believe I made an excellent choice by choosing ITI Istanbul to get my CELTA. Thank you!

, CELTA Online student,

It was a fulfilling experience, thank you all!

, CELTA Online student,

It was a life changing experience.

, CELTA Online student,

Good evening, thanks so much for the course, I liked it very much. Meeting with trainers and teachers from all over the world was very interesting and memorable. I hope that all of the knowledge I got on the course will help me to pass the Module 1. Best regards

, 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.

, CELTA Online student,

My experience in the course was really helpful. We trained in a very positive environment and I am thankful for this experience

, CELTA student,

I enjoyed everything about this course. I feel so blessed to have the chance to work with two of the best and the most supportive tutors (Joanna and Liz). Words are not enough to thank them.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

Overall, I was very satisfied with the course. If I had some questions, tutors were there for me.

, DELTA Module 3 student,

Generally, I am satisfied with most of the zoom sessions that you could also watch later since they were recorded and the feedback I received by most of the tutors was accurate and helpful. However, I am not satisfied with the materials provided since I believe that that we could have been given more guidance on the exam tasks and not just lists of books to read. Maybe a bank with useful language for each task would be more useful or a list of topics to cover with possible answers for paper 2 task 3 because not all candidates have the time to create their own bank and this is something that I would expect from a paid course.

, DELTA Module 3 ELTM (Management) student,

It's sheer luck that I have found this amazing institution in such turbulent time. The staff, the tutors, and the overall organisation of the online course were simply superb. Doing Delta M3 was an insightful and pleasunt experience, and I felt constant support from the team. Thank you and looking forward to studying with you in Delta M3 course!

, DELTA Module 3 student,

The tutors are quite friendly and helpful, but some of them seem less energetic/interested in hearing from the students; there should be some sort of assessment/observation to ensure that tutors can still inject their own personal style to the lessons, but the degree of standards wouldn't vary too much.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

A good refresher on all aspects of teaching for someone like me who has been away from teaching for some years, before starting again.

, CELTA student,

All was brilliantly exposed to us, in a friendly environment. The tutors were always ready to help us with our questions. Even though I am going to sit the exam in December, they gave me suggestions and were always committed to us students.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

Tutors and administrative staff are very supportive. I had my course online so I can’t grade the location.

, DELTA Module 1 student,

It has been a wonderful experience overall! I loved how all the topics of study and how the input sessions followed a logical flow. I saw how I was developing as the weeks progressed. I was very happy with the feedback and support provided by the tutors- they were always so helpful and kind. I felt like I could easily contact Joanne via email and also Özlem, and they answered all my questions quite promptly. I was very happy with all the tutors and the lessons were engaging. I didn't attend many of the input sessions lively because I needed more time to do background studying first. But I watched all of them, took notes as I paused the video and that is what worked best for me. I was also surprised by how much the tutors knew! They are experts in the field and I have learned so much from all of them. A big thanks to all the tutors and Dr.Tom for making this a possibility for all of us. What you are all doing is truly inspiring!

, DELTA Module 1 student,

I gained great experience, I didn’t gained in my years of university.

, CELTA Online student,

For me, the ITI is synonymous with a community of wonderful and kind individuals. Taking the intensive CELTA course there was undoubtedly challenging, but I genuinely cherished every moment of it. I had the privilege of learning from incredibly intelligent, dedicated, and considerate tutors, who provided invaluable guidance. Furthermore, my peers were simply lovely, and I gained a great deal from their support and collaboration throughout the course.

, CELTA student,

To be completely honest, it was one of the most remarkable learning encounters I've ever had. Although the course can be challenging and mentally demanding, with the incredible guidance of exceptional tutors like Mehdi and Robyn, you will have the ability to persevere, succeed, and flourish. There is an abundance of knowledge to acquire and numerous rewards to reap, and ITI provides the ideal environment for that. I feel incredibly thankful and content to have become part of the CELTA course at ITI. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved.

, CELTA student,

It was a full experience to be had. Thank you to everyone who made this meaningful even though it was very challenging, tiring, and maybe the most painful period of our lives.

, CELTA student,

Although it was my first time studying abroad, the staff and environment were friendly and supportive and it reduces the stress of the course

, CELTA student,

It was fantastic. I loved it and learned a lot. Thanks

, CELTA student,

It was a great experience . Thanks to the tutors and all the staff ,in fact I’ve learned a lot through this journey and I’ve also developed my personal skills. All in all , this experience has paved the way for me to invest in my career and to develop my personal growth.

, CELTA Online student,

It was a great course

, CELTA Online student,

The location was great, and very convenient, the staff was kind, helpful and very supportive, and the tutors were incredible. I loved every bit of every day. Only one thing: since there are a lot of PowerPoint presentations during the course, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a couple of PowerPoint presenters (remote devices). Regardless, thank you for everything.

, CELTA student,

It was a great course, I learned a lot and feel that I have developed as a teacher overall. Online courses can be difficult to teach and organize, but overall I think this was very well done.

, CELTA Online student,

Great experience, would recommend others to attend

, CELTA student,

For me it was an eye-opening experience with cool and professional tutors in a friendly and welcoming environment.

, CELTA student,

CELTA was a great journey to explore teaching and learning processes, it has been an amazing opportunity to meet such knowledgeable tutors and active teachers. All the best

, CELTA Online student,

Overall. This course couldn’t been better without the tutors i had (Ramy & Robyn) they are amazingly cooperative and keen to help whenever they find a chance. I deeply appreciate that i was assigned to their group!

, CELTA Online student,

It was the best course ever.

, CELTA Online student,

My experience was positive. I find the tutors to be very professional, helpful and supportive. They know how to give the feedback in the manner that highlights the best of you and not in a discouraging one.

, CELTA student,

I feel so privileged to have had the chance to be accompanied by a great team. Thank you all🌷

, CELTA Online student,

International Training Institute In Istanbul is a top level provider for the Celta course. I actually choose this course here particularly for the high reviews in comparison to other places like Egypt, Morocco, or even where I live in Vienna. There are so many great things to say about this course so where do I start!? Well, maybe the things you most likely want to know. The quality of the instructors is top notch and there is NO doubt about that. Passionate, Professional, Patient and helpful are words that don’t do these tutors any justice. I enjoyed all of them. What made it special for me in particular is that they all had different ways of teaching and personalities but what remained equal was the effort they put into making sure they were approachable and ready to help or explain again or whatever you needed. The feedback was always so good and I never felt cheated in that sense. They really were a great bunch. Elena (very knowledgeable), Mehdi (Top Top professional with a lot of knowledge), Daria ( she’s so cool! :-) and helpful) and Robyn (oozes passion for teaching English) It’s important to say though that all of the tutors are knowledgeable and passionate but I just wanted to describe what I took from each. The staff are soooo lovely. Really. I love the teachers but I adored the staff. I really miss them :-( I hope that if I take the delta course that they are still there as it would be like returning to family. And the facilities are excellent and more than enough. The location is of course great. You’d be in the Levant area which has so much food and excellent links to popular areas. ITI was an experience I’ll never forget and helped me learn a lot about myself. Of course.. bring your A game. ITI are not just going to hand you the certificate but be serious and they will do all they can to help you complete your goals. I myself was a bit of a difficult student I’d imagine for them but I really appreciate the feedback and honesty in helping me to get through. I could have done even better but I can’t say the same about ITI in any aspect. They exceeded my expectations. This really was one of my better experiences in my life! If you need to take a course here then just know you won’t regret it. I can’t praise them enough. Thank you everyone at ITI.

, CELTA student,

I'm very grateful that I chose to do Module 2 intensively with ITI. Things are set up to allow us to do our best. The students were amazing, and the support staff really good at their job.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

I had a great time there, learned an incredible amount from T-Dog, Shock L and the LZA. The camaradery between the course participants was incredible, we became a family over those 6 weeks. Ilknur is amazing, I wish I had an Ilknur at my workplace.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

The course has been an amazing experience. The tutors are excellent ELT professionals and just excellent people all around - I feel a better teacher even after short six weeks because of their guidance and support.

, DELTA Module 2 student,

I had an amazing experience at iti Istanbul. Id definitely recommend it for anyone wishing to do the Celta abroad.

, CELTA student,

A great journey and a memorable experience.

, CELTA student,

It was a magnificent experience and i really benefited from everything i learned

, CELTA student,

This was an 5-week course which I do recommend over the more usual 4-week one! Although quite overwhelming at times, everything was smooth and efficiently run. Feedback was very quick for each task, with very constructive encouragements. Felt the staff really wanted us to do well and helped wherever they could. Thanks again to all! A great course.

, CELTA Online student,

Great, detailed feedback Engaging sessions, especially Elna and Liz

, DELTA Module 1 student,

I had a great time taking the CELTA Course at ITI. We had the best tutors who encouraged us to do better each day. For me, CELTA was a fun learning experience.

, CELTA Online student,

Best experience ever!

, CELTA student,

I reccomend all teachers willing to do CELTA course to do it in ITI for many reasons. The tutors are professional, the organization is on level and the location and living expenses are affordable.

, CELTA student,

I am fully satisfied

, CELTA student,

The tutors at ITI were very supportive. They always gave me new and challenging tasks. I was concerned about taking the CELTA course because it's online, but now I’m happy that I took it because I improved not only my teaching skills in general, but also my teaching skills for the computer and online. I highly recommend the International Training Institute's CELTA course.

, CELTA Online student,

Online CELTA with ITI is a great opportunity for foreign teachers! It's just mind breaking!

, CELTA Online student,

My tutors Liz and Zahra were very supportive and gave constructive feedback with the help their guidance I have improved the areas I need to work on

, Workshops - Metaverse for Language Learning student,

I would like to thank my tutors (Liz Aykanat and Özlem Kaplan) for this wonderful experience! It's been my dream to do CELTA for several years and I'm glad that I did it in your school - the procedures were always clear, tutors always followed the plan, not to say how motivating and inspiring our sessions and TPs were! We always got a very thorough feedback on our lessons, all the comments were to the point and very discreet. I wish all the best to the school and tutors and hope to do DELTA one day :)
