By completing your purchase, you agree that Confident Course Prep provides general orientation only and does not guarantee grades, admission, or academic outcomes at any institution.
Do I need to have my real course open?

No. We’ll use a safe demo course that looks and feels like many Canvas-style online classes. You’re welcome to ask questions about your own course, but you will not be asked to share grades or personal information.

Is this only for college students?

Confident Course Prep is designed for high-school, college, and adult learners who are new to, or nervous about, online learning. Parents and family supporters are also welcome to sit nearby and listen in.

Will this session replace my school’s orientation?

No. Our session is an informal, third-party walkthrough designed to complement— not replace—any official orientation or training your school provides. Always follow your institution’s policies and directions.

Do I have to turn my camera on?

Camera use is optional. You’re welcome to keep your camera off if that helps you feel more comfortable while you’re learning the basics.

Is the session recorded?

No, sessions are not recorded for participants. This keeps the environment low-pressure and protects your privacy while you practice and ask questions.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. If you email us at least 24 hours before your scheduled time, we’ll work with you to move your booking to a future session as availability allows.
