It has also established bonds for international cooperation with organizations such as ITEC, Pearson Edexcel, SQA and ACTA. AKMI Katartisi is among the first choices of private VET education as it offers both long-term and short-term courses in a variety of fields and provides a "hands-on" orientation by operating fully equipped laboratories designed according to the standards and simulating the real conditions of everyday professional life or supporting the courses with WBL assignments. In addition, the collaboration with labour market experts, chambers, trade unions and associations give a concrete insight into the world of work, contributing to a more conscious choice of profession and preparing the future associates who are able to respond effectively to the market's needs.
