About Pedagogical Formation Courses and Teaching
The courses offered within the scope of pedagogical formation in our department are elective courses that fall outside the compulsory curriculum of the undergraduate program. Some of these courses are conducted within our department, while the vast majority are carried out by the Faculty of Education. Considering that these courses affect the Grade Point Average (GPA), students are advised to make their enrollment decisions carefully.
For Those Aiming to Become Teachers
Graduates who wish to become Food and Beverage Services teachers may apply for the Academy Entrance Exam (AGS) conducted by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). Within the framework of the regulations that came into force as of December 2025, a pedagogical formation certificate is not legally required for AGS applications and preparatory training at the National Education Academy (NEA). Although a formation certificate is not mandatory for paid teaching applications, it is known that candidates holding the certificate gain priority advantage in application rankings. For this reason, students planning to do paid teaching are advised to complete the formation courses.
