Therefore,we are as TUİK Antalya Regional Office developing the "Training for Trainers of Interviewers" project to bring a different perspective to the training of our interviewers and in order to take international good training examples as a model by the way Erasmus+ K1 project.

Thus covering seven geographic regions of the interviewers educators in 26 offices we want to create a structure with the same resources they provide the same standard of education. We plan to give the interviewer educational participation certificates at the end of the training so that could be created to sustain a high quality of education and learning outcomes.
