Yes. Schools in Turkey generally accept accredited online TEFL certificates, and most ask for at least 120 hours. Premier TEFL's 180 hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma is regulated by Ofqual under reference 610/1572/6, so it sits on the UK qualifications framework rather than being an in house certificate. Most employers will also ask for a bachelor's degree, and your school sponsors the work permit once you accept a job offer.
