Besides its stunning coastlines and few thousand years of rich history, Turkey is home to one of the hottest European economies. It also has one of the largest global job markets for in-class or online teaching English in Turkey.
There are several benefits of working in Turkey compared to some of the other European job markets. English teaching positions are available all-round the year with pre-arranged interviews being conducted over the phone or via email while local, in-person opportunities can also be found. Moreover, it is a common practice for English teachers in the country to receive a sponsored work visa when working in the country.
Stipend for housing and airfare is provided to some of the English teachers but should not be considered the usual practice. Teachers usually live in apartments vacated recently by the previous candidates while many share accommodations with their coworkers.
Turkey provides quite a handsome hourly wage, helping the teachers have a comfortable life. The normal work-week includes around 20-25 hours of teaching that leaves a lot of time for travelling and exploring around. Teachers frequently give private tuitions to enhance their pay.
Teachers may pursue online TESOL courses in Morocco and a four-year bachelor’s degree to find a suitable job. The biggest likelihood of landing a job is in the major cities such as Ankara, Izmir, and Istanbul among others.
Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
