### Salaries and demand: Turkey and abroad

The Turkish market. Turkey's fitness industry, clubs, sports academies and tourism sector hire coaches and sports science specialists; resorts add seasonal demand. Because ranges are re-indexed annually with the minimum wage, treat any salary figure as valid for its year only.

Abroad. Coaching licences are converted under the rules of international federations; certifications of global fitness associations work in many countries.

What raises income: international certifications, a specialization (rehabilitation, performance), English. A personalised comparison of current salary ranges by city and employer is provided under an agreement with StudyU.
