F.A.Q.
British Time was founded in 1996 and started its educational activities in 1998. It is an institution still serving in this field. To date, it has successfully educated approximately 150,000 students.
We have branches in Kadıköy, Mecidiyeköy, Bakırköy, Beylikdüzü, Avcılar, and Kayseri. However, with our Online Education option, we remove all borders and create the opportunity to join the education from anywhere.
We have adopted the widely used level system in English education worldwide to prevent any confusion. Our education system consists of 6 levels, with each level corresponding to a single course.

To learn English, it is necessary to frequently review and revise the topics; classroom education alone extends the learning process over a long period. For a successful education process, our teachers assign homework and lessons to be done outside the classroom as well.
All our students can unlimitedly benefit from our grammar videos on our YouTube channel where they can constantly review grammar online. Also, we offer a one-on-one make-up opportunity for students who miss classes or want to review lessons. This opportunity, called the "Make-up Club," allows students to get private lessons by appointment to meet their review or make-up needs.
Within our courses, there are conversation courses suitable for every level, and students can easily and unlimitedly attend every session. For speaking and other activities, please obtain the activity list from your branch.
Students who complete the education have free and unlimited access to our speaking clubs for 5 years to keep their English active.
Frequent exams are conducted throughout the teaching process. In case of failure, the student is guided with alternative solutions appropriate to the reasons for failure. If our student has attended the make-up programs, submitted homework on time, but still cannot succeed by the end of the course, and the total absenteeism does not exceed 10%, the course can be repeated for free. The free course repetition guarantee applies separately to each course.
