Courses

Who are BEXT Institute courses for?

The launch courses are designed for mentors, parents, educators, coaches, youth workers, faith leaders, nonprofit professionals, founders, and organizational leaders whose work affects boys and young men.

Are the courses live or self-paced?

Release 1 uses a guided online cohort model. Learners receive a weekly rhythm that may combine live sessions, recordings, reading, practice, discussion, assignments, and an applied project.

How much time should I plan each week?

Plan approximately five instructional and applied-learning hours per week over four weeks.

Enrollment

Do I need to apply before enrolling?

Standard individual enrollment does not require a long application. Select a course, create an account, review the course information and policies, and complete payment. Scholarship and organizational pathways use separate forms.

What happens after payment?

You receive confirmation, learner-account instructions, orientation, cohort details, and access to BEXT Campus before the course begins.

Payment

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. The standard plan is two payments of $225. The first secures the seat. The second is due before week three. Exact dates appear at checkout.

Can an organization pay for me?

Yes. Organizations may purchase a seat, request an invoice, or arrange group enrollment.

What is the refund policy?

Refund eligibility depends on the written cancellation date and whether the course has begun. Review the full Course Refund Policy before payment.

Completion & certificates

Is the certificate a professional license or academic credit?

No. It documents successful completion of a non-credit professional learning course. It is not a state license, academic degree, transferable credit, or government accreditation.

What must I complete?

Learners must meet the published attendance requirement, complete required modules and assessments, submit the applied final project, complete the course evaluation, and satisfy payment obligations.

BEXT Community

Is community access included?

Active learners receive access during the course and for 90 days after completion. Ongoing alumni membership may be offered separately.

Can I discuss individual boys in the community?

Only in ways that protect privacy and safeguarding. Never share a minor’s name, identifying details, records, images, or sensitive information. Community discussion is not a substitute for qualified legal, clinical, safeguarding, or emergency support.
