The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has introduced a new regulation for foreign workers wishing to work in the country. The “Vocational Education Activities Cooperation Protocol,” aimed at making the use of foreign labor in TRNC more effective and efficient, has been renewed with a significant update.
Qualification and Language Requirements
Under this new protocol, foreign workers coming to TRNC are required to provide documents proving their qualifications, competencies, and experience relevant to their professions. Additionally, to reduce language barriers and improve communication effectiveness, foreign labor candidates must now certify their Turkish proficiency at an A2 level.
What Does A2 Level Turkish Requirement Mean?
The A2 level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), is a basic language level that includes essential Turkish communication skills needed in daily life and workplace environments. An individual at this level can:
- Understand and use simple and everyday expressions.
- Provide basic information about themselves and their surroundings.
- Communicate at a basic level to meet immediate needs in daily situations.
This language level aims to facilitate foreign workers’ adaptation in both their workplaces and daily lives.
How to Obtain a Language Certificate?
Foreign workers who wish to obtain a Turkish Language Certificate can benefit from Tömer centers or authorized language education centers in TRNC. Tömer is a reputable institution that provides Turkish language education in line with international standards.
