YES.
However, just like the TOEFL and IELTS procedure, you have to take an exam for Turkish.
We organize this exam and if you are successful at the end of the exam, you can get a Turkish certificate valid in all Turkish official institutions.
Apart from this, you can also get a certificate of attendance at the end of each course without an exam. But this document is only a document showing that you have attended the course and completed some levels.
In order to use it in your official works, we recommend that you take the exam and get a certificate as described above.

We come across this question all the time, but don't worry. You will answer this yourself after only 1 week :)
Our classrooms have students from many different nationalities. Although English is generally accepted as a "common language", we may have many students who do not speak English.
For this reason, we use Turkish as a common language after entering the classroom.
Because the target language is Turkish. Getting help with different languages is not a very suitable situation in terms of language learning.
After just 1 week, you will get used to taking Turkish lessons without any help.

If the student who wants to enroll has learned Turkish before but does not have a document certifying this, he can take the Turkish entrance exam free of charge. After the exam, the student's level is immediately determined and placed in an appropriate class.

No We don’t have a dormitory but with our student certificate, you can apply for a private dormitories.

The most important and first rule:
Do not hesitate to make mistakes when speaking Turkish :)
Just like when learning any language, only courses and books are not enough when learning Turkish.
You can consider the gym example here.
All the materials are there, but if you do not do the exercises yourself, do not follow what the teacher says, or if you return to your normal life immediately after the sport, you will not be able to lose weight or develop muscles.
Just like that, your materials when learning a language are books and course.
In addition to these, you should;

  • do your homework after the course
  • use the new words you learn continuously throughout the day
  • watch Turkish movies or TV series
  • read Turkish books
  • make Turkish friends
When you do all this, it won't take long to realize that you learn much faster, speak much better, and get along with people much better than normal students ;)
