Editing is important.
It's a fact of life, there's no getting around it.
In the coming school year, Beit Berl College is offering a program in English editing. The program covers two semesters and the course is given in English. My only complaint is that the relevant web-page is in Hebrew only. If there is an English version somewhere on the site, it is well-hidden.
Want to know more about it? Can't read the Hebrew? A Campus Day (generally referred to in Hebrew as "open day") will be held on September 2nd; and entrance exams on September 5th.
Have fun!
Update:
My colleague Yael Sela-Shapiro has undertaken to call Beit Berl's attention to the omission.

A Diploma in Editing English
Course Coordinator : Dr Yitzchak Enav
The Beit Berl English Editing Program offers students a range of theoretical and practical studies. The program, about to enter its tenth year, includes courses and workshops on a variety of texts spanning the literary and Judaic to the academic and technical. This hands-on, practical experience prepares editors of English for competent work in their field.
The course is open to Native and Near-native speakers of English and to e graduates of Beit Berl College's English and Translation Departments. No knowledge of Hebrew is required: a welcome fact that makes the course most suitable for new immigrants anxious to equip themselves for their first work in Israel.
Prospective candidates wishing to learn more about the program are invited to visit classes during the academic year.
Course Schedules
The duration of the course is one academic year of some 280 academic hours of study. All classes take place on one day each week. At the core of these studies is a very solid grounding in editing English in general. The courses then focus on several varieties of texts in areas relevant to English editing in Israel.
Conditions of Acceptance
- Computer Literacy
- An entrance examination
- A personal interview with teachers of the program
Course Requirements
