Continuing Education Research and Application Center

Hello, I am Associate Professor Hakan ÖNAL, the director of Balıkesir University Center for Continuing Education Applications and Research. Our center was established in 2015 with the aim of providing additional training and certification to our students beyond their diploma.
However, we not only offer trainings to our students but also to individuals in our city and across the country. Since 2021, we have introduced the Personnel Certification Unit and are actively working towards accreditation by the Vocational Qualifications Authority.
Our center serves as a platform where individuals seeking courses or training can connect with those offering courses or training. We offer a wide range of programs, including language courses such as English, Russian, French, German, and Arabic, exam preparation courses, personal development programs such as diction and rhetoric training, economic trainings such as entrepreneurship and cooperatives, livestock sector training, veterinary services, basic law courses, and internationally recognized and accredited occupational health and safety training in collaboration with the World Wind Turbines Association, supported by the Certificate of Origin (CVO) document.
Our center is open to all citizens without any discrimination, and our internationally accredited trainings welcome applications from individuals around the world. We recommend that those interested in our center follow us on social media and visit our official page to stay updated and apply for the trainings in their areas of interest.
When you join our university, if you wish to enhance your skills or gain expertise in areas beyond your diploma program, we are here to provide the necessary support and certification through our relevant courses and trainings.
I wish success to all the candidates preparing for the university entrance exams, and I look forward to welcoming you at Balıkesir University Center for Continuing Education Applications and Research.
