    Do you offer discounts for the NGO (Not-for-profit) sector?

    Yes, if you are a candidate working in the NGO sector, you can apply for a 90% discount off the tuition fee (two per cohort).

    You must submit your Upskill Women in Leadership application and follow the requirements for candidate selection. If you are invited to join the program, your employer will be required to sign a contract with Telerik Academy and cover 10% of the regular tuition fee for the program.

    Please note that the candidate selection process evaluates the candidate’s profile, not the NGO’s.

    Can I choose between online and onsite training?

    The program will be held online. Please note that attendance is key to our students’ successful graduation. Participants must attend all classes. Up to 3 days of absence are allowed, plus the program has 2 vacations (3 weeks in total). 

    What is the candidate selection process for the program?

    We use a holistic review process when evaluating applicants for admission.

    The final selection of candidates is based on a variety of factors: application documents, personal motivation for applying, etc. Some candidates might also be invited to attend an interview to additionally discuss motivation and aspirations.

    What is the length/cadence of the program? Can I balance it with work?
    To get the most out of the program, you’ll need to immerse yourself in it for 4 months. To recharge your batteries, you’ll have 3 weeks of vacation. With classes once a week, this most holistic program makes it possible to also balance work or other responsibilities.
    What does “two-week trial period” mean?
    If you drop out of the program within the trial period, which is the first 2 weeks of the program, you won't pay any tuition.
    Does Telerik Academy help alumni find new jobs after successful graduation?
    As this is an Upskill program, it isn’t geared towards connecting learners and businesses. But the skills and experience you gain will help you excel in your career, just like it helped our alumni reach their career goals.
