context_page_description: The Israeli Naval Academy is a voluntary course, dedicated to the training, education and selection of Naval Officers, and it takes place alongside other instructional courses at the Naval Command School in the Israeli Naval Instruction Base. The Naval Academy is considered one of the most prestigious and demanding courses in the IDF – alongside the Israeli Air Force Flight Academy. On average, only one out of four cadets completes the course successfully, representing a 10% completion rate from initial selection process to graduation. The course is nearly three years long, and cadets graduate with a B.A. from Haifa University and an Officer rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. Graduates are committed to 61 months' additional military service.
