He received his Journeyman Certificate in Jewelry (Gold and Silver Craftsmanship) in 1992, followed by his Master Craftsman Certificate in the same field in 2006, and later obtained his Master Instructor Certificate in 2018.

He later continued production in workshops located in Arnavut Han and Özen Han in Çemberlitaş.
