Legalization of education in Turkey

If a foreign citizen has a diploma of higher or secondary special education, then he can confirm or legalize it in Turkey. With a confirmed diploma, it is easier to get a job in your specialty, and wages will differ significantly in a big way. According to Turkish law, it is possible to confirm the diploma of a foreign university in the College of Higher Education (Türkiye cumhuriyeti Yükseköğretim kurulu). Diplomas of secondary education are confirmed in the local departments of public education (Il Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü). What is the difference between the confirmation and legalization of foreign diplomas? To begin with, the Turkish Board of Education (YÖK), having received an application from a foreign citizen, finds out whether the number of theoretical hours, as well as practice in a certain specialty, corresponds to Turkish standards of study. If it matches, then the applicant does not need to take additional exams, confirming his qualifications, the diploma is simply confirmed to him. If the educational criteria are recognized by the Collection as not conforming to the Turkish standards of education, then the applicant will have to attend a certain number of additional classes and pass the qualification exam — Seviye Tespit Sınavı. This is called the legalization of a diploma. It is very important to remember that it is possible to legalize or confirm a diploma only if the applicant's foreign university is accredited in Turkey. In other words, if the university is recognized by the College, then you can apply. Therefore, the first step will always be sending an application to the Higher Board of Education of Turkey. If the Board confirms that the foreign university is accredited, then you can begin the procedure of confirmation or legalization. Applications are submitted in person or by registered mail. After the approval of the application, the applicant is sent a further action plan — how, what and in what order to do. Conditions and documents for confirmation\legalization of the diploma
