Why not use a popular wallet instead so that if they are going to use a real wallet just tell them to switch them into mainnet it won't be a problem.
Electrum testnet should be the best option for the desktop you can check this video below how to setup testnet on Electrum.

Testnet Mode
Although Electrum supports Testnet mode, this feature isn’t available through the graphical user interface. Running Electrum in Testnet mode is not difficult, but the procedure varies by operating system.
Specifically, you’ll create an operating system-specific launcher. This launcher can be placed on your desktop or elsewhere. It will allow you to run Testnet Electrum whenever you double click it.
Before setting up an Testnet Electrum launcher, it’s essential to run Electrum at least once in Mainnet mode. That’s best accomplished by double clicking Electrum’s built-in launcher, or using your system launcher. This step adds essential files that Testnet Electrum will need to run.
Testnet on Windows
Copy the Electrum launcher on the desktop (right click, Copy). Paste a new copy onto the desktop (right click, paste). Rename the copy to “Electrum Testnet.”
Access the launcher’s properties (right click, Properties). Under the “Target” field append the following text: “ --testnet” (a leading space is required, and there are two dashes). Click OK.

I am preparing to give live video courses for newbies about how btc blockchain works. I am willing to use btc testnet network and was looking for a friendly-use btc testnet wallet.
I don't want to use testnet network in one of the popular wallet just to avoid confusions.
I came accross this wallet app but it seems to be complicated more than a real btc wallet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet_test&hl=en&gl=US
It gives just one recieving address without having access to seed/private keys/...etc
Do you know any btc testnet wallet for mobile/desktop (not web-wallet) ?
It would be nice if you can give more helpful advices.
Thank you all
