Requirements to Teach in Turkey
The qualifications you need to be an English teacher depend largely on the country where you want to work.
If Turkey is your chosen destination, and you want to work legally, you will ideally have a university degree and a TEFL certificate of some description.
You can get work without a university degree but your options will be more limited.
While most employers prefer teachers to have a CELTA certificate, the minimum requirement from the Ministry of Labour for a work permit is a 120 hour online TEFL certificate.
CELTA Courses in Istanbul
When prospective employers ask, ‘have you got a TEFL certificate?’ what they are usually referring to is the Cambridge CELTA or the Trinity Certificate TESOL, or a certificate gained from doing a course of equivalent length and value as these two.
As the basic ‘industry standard’ qualifications, the CELTA or Trinity Cert TESOL would be best to get you up and teaching English as a foreign language.

Reviews from leading language school employers...
“i-to-i grads are notably more prepared. They have a clear advantage over other candidates in the sense that they are motivated and ready to step into the classroom. They have a higher degree of confidence, and that shows in the classroom and in the interview.”
“There are a lot of TEFL certificate programs out there, but the one that I always recommend to teachers looking to teach overseas is the TEFL certification through i-to-i. Unlike many TEFL programs out there, i-to-i is internationally-recognized. This means that the teacher training will be recognized around the world. This is very important as there are several TEFL programs that are NOT recognized. As a hiring agent, I know that when an applicant has a qualification like an i-to-i TEFL certification, they are likely going to be hired faster.”
