Traveling to Turkey, suggestions on work and certifications?
Hi Everyone,
I’m going to be doing some extensive travel to Turkey on April 18th to study dance and would love to find some short-term work in the fitness industry while I’m there. I’m a personal trainer and dance instructor. Does anyone have any connections in Istanbul?
Also, do you know whether personal training certifications are required, and if so, if you need a certification from an international certifying body?
Thanks for your help!
Jennifer
Jennifer,
before you worry about whether or not you need a certification to work in Turkey, you need to worry whether you are allowed to work in Turkey at all. The place where you will study may be able to help.
Be mindful that you would jeopardize your study program and an ’employer’ if you choose to ‘work’ without proper documentation.
