Student Guide
How to Start Learning at
Legacy Bridge AI Academy
Welcome. This page walks you through your first steps at Legacy Bridge AI Academy — what to do when you log in, how to find and start courses, what the different buttons and labels mean, and how to get help when you need it.
The academy is growing in stages. Some courses, tools, payments, credits, certificates, community features, and notifications are in preview or coming soon. This guide explains what is available now and what is on the way.
Your First 7 Steps
Follow these steps when you first log in. You do not have to complete them all at once.
1
Start with Your Dashboard
After signing in, your Dashboard is your home base. It shows your enrolled courses, learning stats, quick links to the AI Instructor, and your progress over time.
Right now the dashboard stats (courses enrolled, time, certificates) show zero or placeholder values while the academy backend is expanding. That is expected — your data will populate as features connect. From the dashboard, use the sidebar or the buttons to navigate anywhere in the academy.
2
Browse the Course Catalog
Open Courses from the sidebar or dashboard to see the full academy catalog. Courses are organized into 11 divisions including Languages, Technology, Business, Law, Life Skills, K-12, and more.
Use the search bar and filters to find a subject you want to study. Not every course is open yet — look for the status labels to understand what is available to you today.

Understand the Course Buttons and Labels
Course cards use different buttons and labels depending on their current status. Here is what each one means:
Continue Learning
You are already enrolled or this course is available to start. Click to open it.
Request Access
This course is in the catalog but direct checkout is not live yet. Clicking it begins the access process — your request may be reviewed or activated when enrollment opens.
Preview Course View Path
Safe to explore. You can read course details, browse the path, and plan your learning without committing to enrollment.
Coming Soon Planned
This course is planned but not open yet. A price is shown so you can plan ahead — enrollment opens when announced.
Enrollment Coming Soon Enrollment Not Live Yet
The payment and access flow for this course is not active. No charge will occur. Enrollment will be announced when it opens.
Planned
This course is on the roadmap. Content and enrollment dates have not been confirmed yet.
5
Use the AI Instructor
The AI Instructor is available from the sidebar at any time. You can ask it questions about your course, request explanations of concepts, ask for examples, or get beginner-friendly help on any subject you are studying.
How to get the best results:
✓
Ask specific questions: "Explain what a CSS class is in simple terms"
✓
Request examples: "Give me an example of an HTML form"
✓
Ask for a simpler explanation: "Explain that again for a complete beginner"
✓
Ask about your course topic: "What is the difference between frontend and backend?"
The AI Instructor is an educational support tool. It is not a licensed professional advisor. Do not rely on it for legal, medical, tax, financial, or emergency guidance.
6
Track Your Progress and Certificates
Your Progress page shows lesson completion and course activity. Your Certificates page shows any certificates you have earned by completing full courses.
These features are expanding. If a page shows zero or no data yet, that is expected — it will update as more courses go live and the backend tracking connects. Certificates will be downloadable once course completion tracking is fully active.
7
Get Help When You Need It
If something does not work, visit the Help & Support page. It has a Getting Started guide, help topic cards, and a contact support section.
If a page looks blank or broken, a browser refresh often fixes it. If the problem continues, use the Contact Support option on the Help page and describe what you were doing when the issue occurred.
Live support contact is being set up. Help and AI Instructor are currently the primary support paths.
Beta Notice
Legacy Bridge AI Academy is being built in stages.
Some courses, tools, payments, credits, certificates, community features, and notifications may be in preview or coming soon. Features that show "Coming Soon," "Planned," or "Preview" are on the roadmap and will be announced when they are ready. Early access students can explore freely and report issues so they can be addressed.
Student Safety & Clarity
A few important things to know:
→
Paid enrollment is not active unless it is clearly stated on the course or checkout page. No charge will occur from a "Request Access" or "Coming Soon" button.
→
Academy Credits are planned but not yet active. Credit balances and credit-based features will be announced when they launch.
→
Do not enter sensitive private information into placeholder forms or unfinished feature areas.
→
Course access and payment features will be announced with clear instructions when they go live. If you are unsure whether something is active, check Help & Support.
→
Scholarship and financial assistance options are planned for the future, but they are not active yet. They will be revisited once the academy has stable money flow.
