Introducing CUFI Academy UK
CUFI Academy aims to reach the next generation with the truth about Israel. Our desire is to raise up future leaders who develop a passion for Israel and become effective advocates for truth in whatever vocations they pursue.
We are living in a society that is becoming increasingly hostile towards Israel. Antisemitism is on the rise; social media is flooded with anti-Israel propaganda, and college and university campuses are challenging environments for Christians and Jews who love Israel. CUFI Academy has been launched to prepare the next generation with the tools to stand with Israel, whether it be in their professional careers, in their churches, or in their homes.
Why join CUFI Academy?
Are you between the age of 16 and 25? Would you like to be better equipped to defend Israel and the Jewish people?
The courses provided by CUFI Academy have been produced by people with decades of experience in advocacy for Israel.
The Israel Course – a 13-week in-depth study into the Christian connection with Israel, the history of ancient and modern Israel, contemporary issues affecting Israel, how to prepare for pro-Israel advocacy on campus, and more.
The Holocaust Course – an 8-week study of the darkest chapter in Jewish history and what lessons we can apply in confronting antisemitism today.
Through CUFI Academy, you will increase in knowledge and love for Israel. You were born “for such a time as this” and the Lord will use you mightily in support of His Chosen People.

CUFI Academy Alumni
CUFI Academy is much more than just completing the course material. You will become part of something much bigger – a movement of young people who desire to make an impact by advocating for Israel in the future. By completing these courses, you will automatically become an alumni of CUFI Academy in honour of what you have achieved. Whatever vocation and direction you choose, we want to maintain our connection with you and equip you in your stand with Israel.
This may include special invitations to attend CUFI events, Zoom calls on specific topics, and an invitation to a proposed CUFI Alumni Residential Retreat. There may also be opportunities to volunteer with CUFI in advocacy.
CUFI will also support alumni in leading The Israel Course themselves, or holding a Voices of the Holocaust evening, or any other CUFI initiative.

FAQs
Is CUFI Academy UK accredited?
While CUFI Academy is not yet accredited as a qualification, you will be provided with a certificate of completion.
How long will the courses take and can I do it alongside other studies?
The Israel Course is 13 weeks in length and The Holocaust Course is 8 weeks. Each week, students will be assigned one or two chapters of the textbook to read. This will require commitment, but it is intended to be done alongside your other activities. A weekly group Zoom call (1.5 hours) will be held to review the material for that week.
What is the online test?
The online test is completed in the student’s own time at the end of the course and is CUFI’s method of assessing that the student has understood the material. If necessary, the student can retest until a pass is achieved.
What do I do after completing the course?
You may like to continue with a second course or pause and enrol at a later time. Students who complete these courses will become CUFI Academy Alumni. As alumni you can continue to remain connected to CUFI and will receive invites to future activities. Our aim is that as the CUFI Academy grows, so too will opportunities for our alumni.
