Hidden costs/horrible service!!

There are hidden costs, $50 is already a lot for a marriage course with three parts. You have to pay a "certificate processing fee" in order to get your certificate for the course afterwards (2-3 days afterwards), which is $10. My fiance accidentally bought both the processing fee and the expedited one--which gives you your certificate within 24 hours (instead of instantly after you complete the class)--and they refused to offer a refund. I asked them for a place to write a review and the representative did not return the email.

Other than that, it is not an easy interface to continue learning from online. There isn't an easy link where you can jump between the sections in a given lesson, you have you manually skip through the 20+ slides yourself. Would not recommend them, ever.

Henry, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience — that’s never the impression we want anyone to have.

For clarity to others reading:

• There are no hidden fees. Our certificates are optional and only needed for those whose parish requires one. The nominal $10 processing fee — and the optional expedited option — are stated clearly on the product page, in the shopping cart before checkout, and in our Frequently Asked Questions and Terms of Use.

• Certificates are issued after course completion to comply with diocesan standards, and the processing fees go toward that administrative work.

• Regarding the duplicate purchase, we explained by email that both fees had already been applied to preparing your file, which is why a refund was not possible. We always accommodate accidental purchases when services have not yet been rendered.

I’m also sorry you found the interface less intuitive. While thousands of students each year complete our courses successfully and enjoy the platform as it is, we certainly understand that not every interface works perfectly for everyone. We continuously listen to user feedback and actively improve the site year after year.

Wishing you and your fiancée all the best in your upcoming marriage.

Highly Recommend!!!

I would highly recommend taking these courses because I didn’t feel pressured at all to have the course completed in a certain time frame especially with a very busy schedule! The staff was great and was always getting back with just a couple of hours when I had questions or to move forward in the process! Overall it was a fantastic experience and I am so excited and grateful for what is to come in this journey with God!!!

Catechismclass.com Review

Used this to supplement my Adult Faith Formation class ran by my Parrish. Because of the syllabus and structure of this course, there wasn’t a single topic that was brought up in our class that I was not able to add meaningful discussion to. Can you find all of the material in this course elsewhere? Yes you can, but it will not be organized, track your progress, and quiz you like Catechismclass.com. Is it time consuming? Yes, but most traditional RCIA courses take 8-12 months anyway whereas this program takes on average 2 months, I finished in a little over 3 since I was in no rush. Does it promote a more “Conservative” style Catholicism? Perhaps, but as a new member to a faith you should perhaps familiarize yourself with the opinions of those who have been living it their whole lives before complaining and adding your input.

The program was most excellent and I enjoyed it tremendously. I learned more and more within each lesson. The presentation was perfect and easy to follow. My only suggestion is a little proof reading for misspelling I thought they might be words of old confused me a little but after research found them to be simple mistakes.

Clear and Concise

Really appreciate the clarity and simplicity with which they make the Catholic faith knowable and approachable. Being able to go at your own pace is great too for a busy full time dad like myself

Excellent

This program was thorough and I learned so much. I enjoyed it and the content was very understandable and clear. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn more about the Catholic faith. This may very well be one of the best things I have ever done.

Hidden Costs

We used this for Confirmation. We used the Young Adult RCIA which was fine. But the Confirmation Preparation less was way overpriced for what it contained. I would advise to skip that one. Also, after all that expense they wanted us to pay even more to get the certificate we earned! No thank you. As you can see by their veiled sarcastic response and fake apologies to my honest experience (under $20 literally means 19.95). They are not close to the heart of Jesus and not authentically Catholic.

I'm sorry to see we earned only a 2 star review after providing your family with our convenient online courses. The certificates we offer are not free. They take time to prepare by hand and are formatted for framing as a keepsake. We charge only $10 for them to provide a modest living to our staff, who spend around an hour preparing each certificate. We disclose this since it is an optional purchase and not required in our terms and conditions and our FAQ page. I'm sorry you didn't read it. And I'm also sorry you thought our course on Confirmation, which costs less than $20, was "way overpriced." We offer everything we have for the good of souls and the Faith at the lowest possible price we can.

Waste of money and time

Man, this was such a farce. I really can't believe I spent 50$ on this.

Hello Yadira, your comment here is quite a surprise. We offer our online classes to hundreds of people who complete the course each month and who appreciate the flexibility an online course provides. In fact, we do not show any customer by your name. No one by this name ever contacted our customer service for anything. We have no record or idea why you are disappointed. We continually strive to provide the highest support and quality content. Your review is upsetting - we wish if there was a problem you had simply reached out to us. We are always here to help.

Decent overview

Good overview, but don’t think this will help you skip RCIA at your perish. It won’t. My diocese( Seattle) scoffed at this.

Hello Bailey, as stated on our website, if someone wants to take our classes in lieu of an in-person one, that is up to the parish in question. We offer our classes for those who want to learn the Catholic Faith conveniently online. The acceptance of our classes for other purposes is beyond the scope of what we offer.

Great format for young learners and parents with vision impairment

I am using Catechism class.com for my son’s Sacrament preparations. I am visually impaired and could not get my child to my parish’s night classes and was so glad to find this online program. The readings are accessible for the visually impaired! The instruction is appropriately formatted for a young person’s understanding and real life examples are great to deepen a young person’s learning of the Sacraments. I am considering getting a class for my own Adult enrichment. Thank you for creating such an informative and fun learning environment to reach so many people with accessibility options to in person learning.

Thank you for being there when we needed you most…

Once Covid occurred our local Catholic School(our daughter had been attending) could not accommodate our daughter’s medical need for a virtual program. At that point, we were left to make the extremely difficult decision to change schools.
Catechism Class online has been an absolute life saver for her and our family. What you do allowed us the help and support we needed to assure our daughter learns our religion and builds upon her relationship with God.

One of our daughter’s proudest moments was being able to pray the Apostles Creed herself for her Great Grandmother’s 100th birthday this year. Great Grandma said it was the best gift she received as she taught all of her grandchildren (including myself) the rosary and it is one of her fondest memories praying it with us everyday after school.
I cannot commend you enough on the First grade program - it was amazing and our daughter truly learned so much! The way your program covered the Apostles’ Creed was ingenious. It broke it down into bite size sections thoroughly covering and explaining every line. As a child, I could remember my grandmother teaching me that if anyone ever asked me about our religion and what we believed to simply recite the Apostles’ Creed. I commend you for beginning the First Grade curriculum with it. It is EXACTLY what every first grader should be learning in catechism. I was so grateful I was able to guide her though it and be able to help her understand our religious beliefs.
It’s so important to be able to guide children though our religion and be there to answer questions and explain things. I also love that your program focuses so much on the Baltimore Catechism. I was raised on the Baltimore catechism as was my entire family including my grandparents.

Our positive experiences with our faith have always been a driving force for us and we love being able to afford our daughter the guidance we received helping to mold her into a good Catholic.

Many blessings to you! Thank you so much for what you do. We are eternally grateful for your help allowing us to seamlessly continue to teach our daughter about our faith and all the wonders of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We are very much enjoying the 2nd grade curriculum too!
