Tel-Ran

What Tel-Ran does

Tel-Ran Computing Solutions is an Israeli for-profit IT training center founded in 1993, headquartered in Rehovot with a second campus in Haifa and online delivery nationwide. The company delivers subsidized and non-subsidized professional courses in Full Stack Development (Java and JavaScript/Node.js stacks) and QA Automation Testing (Selenium, Postman, Python, Docker, Jenkins), with recent curriculum additions incorporating AI tools and AI-assisted testing. Programs range from short upskilling modules (84–252 hours) to flagship 10–14 month tracks priced between ₪7,000 and ₪16,500, with installment billing over 10–12 months and government subsidy eligibility via the Israeli Ministry of Labor license covering Ministry of Aliyah, Bituach Leumi, Likhtat Taasuka, and army pikadon channels. A separate Masa Hi-Tech program serves pre-repatriates and includes housing in Ra'anana, Hebrew study, and a 6-month stipend-supported curriculum.

The company's revenue model is predominantly tuition-driven, supplemented by international certification exam fees (DEKRA at $199, Florida DOE diploma), consultation services (CV review, IDE installation, career guidance), and partner-channel programs. Go-to-market is sales-led: prospective students are routed through WhatsApp, Telegram, phone, and website booking for free career consultations and free introductory Python courses as lead generation. The core customer segments are new repatriates (olim) within 10 years of arrival — particularly Russian-speaking immigrants — and Israeli career changers seeking entry into the high-tech labor market, with secondary segments including pre-repatriates via the Masa program, unemployed/underemployed workers accessing government subsidies, and existing IT professionals seeking upskilling. Approximately 400 students enroll annually, and Tel-Ran claims over 5,000 cumulative graduates placed at JP Morgan, Wix, Amdocs, Comm-IT, Dell, HP, and 150+ Israeli tech companies. The business is privately held, with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
