Unique Situation - Background Check

Had a summer internship this year, which canceled the in-person portion. Got paid upfront and was given courses to participate in. Admitted this in interviews that I wasn't staffed on anything. How will a background check deal with this?

I'd rather avoid a situation in which I have to explain to HR all of this/end up losing the offer as the educational part was not very impressive. But I didn't really lie about it, just made it sound better.

what makes it unique is that they didn't call the sessions an internship and considered that the internship didn't happen. I believe that since I participated in sessions and got some $, it's legit enough considering 2020. Thank you for the input.

 

no, we got money up front and optional things to do as a reparation for not having a true in person experience. I am just worried that it won't pop up in a Hireright or another bc check. I signed a w2.
