Reichman University- FORE Executive Education

What Reichman University- FORE Executive Education does

Reichman University - FORE Executive Education is the executive education and professional development division of Reichman University (formerly IDC Herzliya, renamed in 2024), headquartered at the university's Herzliya campus in Israel. Established in 2004, FORE delivers three core program lines: FORE EXECUTIVE, which offers open-enrollment individual courses for senior managers and directors covering corporate governance, cyber risk management, marketing, AI tools, finance, and leadership; FORE Organizations (FORE ארגונים), a B2B customized training practice that designs tailored programs in collaboration with corporate clients such as CyberArk, Taldor, and Maccabi Healthcare Services; and FORE GLOBAL, which hosts international delegations from the US, China, Germany, Singapore, India, Cyprus, Australia, and Brazil and organizes outbound study tours for Israeli companies. An additional sub-brand, the Google and Reichman Tech School (launched 2022), provides industry-aligned hi-tech vocational training as a partnership with Google.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model with three streams: individual course registration fees, customized corporate contracts delivered on-site or at university facilities, and international delegation/tour programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact dedicated phone/email channels for registration or quote requests. FORE monetizes its recurring membership communities (Directors Club, CEO Forum) alongside one-off course enrollments. The organization maintains 22 employees and a dedicated go-to-market structure including a B2B customized programs team, learning consultants, B2B and B2C content managers, marketing, customer experience, and finance functions led by CEO Galit Shahar Efrat.

FORE's value proposition rests on the combination of Reichman University academic faculty with senior industry practitioners, twenty years of accumulated curriculum, and exclusive networking offerings. Distribution is direct — primarily through the corporate website, email, social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), and field sales for enterprise clients. Programs are delivered at the Herzliya campus, at client sites, and internationally through partner institutions. The legal entity operating the division is Maf'alot HaMerkaz HaBinatḥumi Herzliya B.A.M. (company registration 511781627), with FORE operating as a wholly integrated division rather than an independent corporate entity.
