Ankara, as the capital and seat of government, is the base for our country management, including Finance and HR functions, and our partnership work in support of Turkey’s national reform initiatives in English, Education and Society.  Istanbul, as Turkey’s commercial and creative hub, is the base for our customer-facing services in English, examinations, education and the arts and offers scope for developing relationships with the private and international sectors. Our marketing and communications team operates from both offices.  Istanbul also operates as a regional hub for the Wider Europe region and frequently hosts colleagues from regional and global teams and services regional meetings and events.
