Eduser

What Eduser does

EDUSER Educational Consultancy Services Co. is a privately held Turkish educational consultancy firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Ankara. The firm delivers technical assistance, project design and implementation, research, capacity development, monitoring and evaluation, grant management, and communication services for international development donors and Turkish public institutions. It specializes in vocational education and training, labor market and employment programs, social protection (including refugee integration and child marriage prevention), SME and regional development, and increasingly in Industry 4.0 and disaster preparedness projects.

The firm operates three branded lines: the core EDUSER consultancy, EDUSEM (a wholly-owned continuing education center selling structured training packages such as PCM, DACUM, Montessori, and KLAX), and EDUSER Montessori (materials and teacher training for early childhood education since 2007); a Private Employment Office is in development. There is no proprietary technology platform — EDUSER is a professional services firm whose deliverables are expert-led studies, trainings, and project management.

EDUSER generates revenue through project-based consultancy contracts, primarily as a consortium member in EU, GIZ, KfW, and UNICEF-funded tenders, alongside direct contracts with Turkish ministries. Recent disclosed consortium project sizes range from approximately €1M to €4.7M, with EDUSER capturing a share as sub-contractor. Go-to-market is sales-led and tender-driven: the firm maintains ongoing consortia with international partners (Expertise France, Eurecna, GIZ, PwC Turkey, Sofreco, Internationaler Bund) and pursues EU IPA programming, government ministry frameworks, and UN agency calls for proposals. The firm is founder-owned/managed with no disclosed external institutional investment, and operates with 11-50 employees serving primarily Turkey with recent expansion to North Macedonia and the Turkish Cypriot community.
