This is my mandatory military service in which I work as a ranked officer in the rank of Second Lieutenant. In GCGA, my department, within the Continuing Education Center, is called Accreditation and Certification. My responsibilities are to organize, plan and carry out international certificate programs on topics regarding law-enforcement, policing and army related issues. These programs are carried out within one week and international participants are invited from different countries to have education and participate in multicultural environment. During these programs my team and I organize everything from transportation to accommodation. We personally deal with interpretation as well. In addition to these duties I have been working as an English teacher in the Academy's preparatory classes, giving English lessons to cadettes.

My job was to make sure that I follow the curriculum presented to me by the management, organize speaking and related language activities, create a warm and stress-free learning environment to students ranging from primary school to adult groups.

My responsibilities while working here were getting into lessons, creating yearly curriculum, organizing special student activities and participating in them, dealing with customer/parent relations.
