About Marker Prep
Marker Prep was founded to teach the lessons school never did — how to stay safe, think clearly, and act decisively in the real world.
Every year, thousands of students head off to college academically prepared but personally unready for the challenges of independence. They can write essays and pass exams, but few know how to recognize danger, read a room, manage peer pressure, or make fast, confident decisions when it matters most.
Marker Prep fills that gap.
Our courses teach situational awareness, decision-making, and self-reliance — the mindset and skills that protect students and help them thrive on their own. Built on proven frameworks like the Cooper Color Code and OODA Loop, our training helps young adults and parents build a shared language of awareness and responsibility.
We believe readiness isn’t fear — it’s freedom.
When students understand their surroundings, trust their instincts, and have the courage to act, they move through life with confidence, not anxiety.
At Marker Prep, we call that being:
Aware. Prepared. Willing.
Our Mission
To prepare the next generation with the awareness, judgment, and confidence to navigate a complex world safely and successfully.
Our Approach
Practical Learning – Short, focused lessons backed by real-world scenarios.
Proven Frameworks – Adapted from law enforcement, aviation, and martial arts disciplines.
Mindset First – We teach students how to think, not just what to do.
Parent Partnership – Tools and language for families to stay connected and proactive.
Our Promise
We don’t sell fear. We teach competence.
Every student who completes a Marker Prep course should walk away with the ability to:
See more of the world than they did before.
Trust their own judgment.
Act with confidence when it counts.
