Never heard of this. Many people hire baby nurses for this sort of thing

Then again, baby care is pretty intuitive and the hospital will show her the basics. She may not need this at all.

The childbirth course I'm taking online includes a section on baby care. It's done by a labor and delivery nurse named liesel teen. It's prerecorded videos to watch on your own schedule. Lifetime access to the course, and you choose if you want the natural series, epidural, or C-section course.

The biggest issues for new moms, are figuring out how to use the bathroom after birth without it burning, and getting the baby to latch right.
Maybe just get her a lactation consultant once the baby is here, if she prefers that.
Most local WIC programs have one and she should qualify as a expectant and postpartum mom.

A lot of hospitals offer these types of classes for new moms she should ask her OB or call the hospital.

A very good, thorough childbirth class + a good lactation consultant should be enough. Actually diapering the baby isn't exactly rocket science and the nurses in the hospital will show her.
After the actual birth, if you wanted a course on introduction to parenting or foundational parenting then I have an online one (called "A Motherhood Manual")

Did she ask for you to find a course for her? Maybe let her take the lead with how she wants to gain the knowledge. Most adults don't like being told what to do...
