 HANDS ON SESSION IN ISTANBUL 

We are well aware that travelling to the United Kingdom sometimes can be very difficult for citizens of non-EU countries because of the distance or strict visa procedures of the UK.

To make your processes more comfortable, the face-to-face sessions of the programme are organized in Istanbul, Turkey, which is one of the most convenient cities in world for travelling to.

Istanbul is the centre of the 4-hour-flight-circle. It means, from 3 continents and 56 countries, more than 1.6 billion people, can reach Istanbul via 4 hours or less flight. Most of that people can come to Turkey without any visa requirement or can get “e-visa” easily.
