  1. Initial application – Once registration opens, you will have 48 hours to submit your application.

Please note this doesn’t guarantee your place in the course, as we need to make sure applicants meet our minimum requirements for the course (you can see them under ‘Course Requirements’). 

  1. Application Review – We go over all applications and make sure they meet our course requirements.
  2. Donate and secure your place – Once you receive an email from us, you will have 48 hours to complete the registration and secure your spot in the course. The ‘cost’ of the course is a donation with a set range of  ₪2500 – ₪5000. You will be able to choose how much you’d like to donate.

Should you not complete your registration within 48 hours, we will automatically move to the next applicant on the list to secure their place, regardless of when they applied to the course.

  1. Your donation – You can see the various charities we donate to in the ‘Who we donate to’ section of this page.

90% of your donation will be used to help these charities exist and support those in need, and 10% will go to Give and Tech’s operational costs.

  • Participate in at least 80% of the lectures and practice sessions

The association’s approach is that the donation is not a payment for the course (it is a donation and the course is a by-product), so there is no direct relationship between the number of sessions the student has had and one refund or another.

If we think the course is not for you after one or two meetings – we will return the full amount and check if it is possible to put someone else in your place.

We wish to give a fair chance to everyone, therefore the participation will be chosen randomly from the applications pool.

All course lectures, practice sessions and panels will be held in Hebrew only.

The sessions will be recorded and available for you to watch offline.
