Ankara University TÖMER
The oldest Turkish-for-foreigners centre — courses, exams and the Hitit textbooks.
What it actually is
Founded in 1984, TÖMER is the reference institution for teaching Turkish to foreigners: it runs graded courses in Ankara and online, administers Turkish proficiency and exemption exams that universities accept, and publishes the Hitit / Yeni Hitit coursebook series many other schools teach from. This is the option when you need certified proof of level or a real classroom rather than self-study. Courses are paid and enrolment is bureaucratic, and the website is mostly in Turkish.
