I'm a beginner in the stock market and I was wondering if there is a course I could get to educate me in the market?

There's a bunch of 'em out there, but as a beginner, you should start by reading first. Paying several hundred dollars for a course just does not make a lot of sense to me, when you can get the same information at your public library and drink from the fountain instead of the fire hose.
Here's some suggested readings and viewing ideas:
Watch CNBC, but don't pay too much attention to the talking heads, except for Jim Cramer, the wild man - but he tries to teach you how to invest and has some great advice.

Education and practice. Good luck.
For me, find a company you are interested in, preferably that makes a profit on a fairly regular basis. Buy some of your extra money. Then go on with life. It is like planting a tree.

Just begin by reading Peter Lynch's Learn to Earn. By then you would fee confident enough to do without a course.
