I'm ready to apply.
I'd like more information.

"I came to Istanbul three years ago as a new teacher just after finishing the CELTA. After so much effort during the course I was determined to get into a school that cared about students, teachers and professional development. The CELTA helped me to distinguish between 'real' schools and so-called 'cowboy' schools. Also, I'm certain that I wouldn't have been prepared to teach in good conscience without the solid training that I had. I'm still using what I learned as a teacher-trainee and one great thing about the CELTA is that it teaches you to be constantly aware of how you can improve yourself as a teacher. I'm still living and working in Istanbul but I was recently promoted to Head Teacher of my school. I've loved my time here in Istanbul and my life has changed dramatically because of my experiences here. I'm currently debating whether to stay on, move on to a different country or to find work back in Canada."
