In the relatively short time since its establishment, our vocational school has made significant progress in improving the quality of educational activities and creating suitable physical conditions. As of November 2013, the Foreign Languages School building has been opened, equipped with:

- A total of 33 classrooms with varying capacities, most of which are multimedia-supported
- 5 lecture halls

Currently, our school employs 35 English language instructors, 2 German language instructors, and 3 Arabic language instructors.

Our priority is to increase the current class hours, provide the necessary technical equipment to ensure that students receive language education under better conditions, and complete the deficiencies in our classrooms. In line with contemporary approaches, our focus is on creating an environment where student-centered education is provided, emphasizing the communicative and functional aspects of language. To achieve this, we provide our staff with the necessary academic support through in-service training.
