The I in confidence is definitely a schwa. It works like this: con fuh dens
Whenever a vowel that is not a U sounds like a short U, it is considered a schwa. When teaching spelling, we call it a sick or lazy vowel sound, only able to say "uh"
Some other schwa words are: some (sum) other (uther) above (ubuv) was (wuz) and vacant (vacunt). Any vowel can "schwa out" depending on how you pronounce (pru nowns) it, and you have to be pay attention when a schwa is present (presunt), because it will make spelling that word tricky. Schwas are all over the place. Good Luck!
Find out for yourself. Does the word sound the same without one of the vowels? Like, "c'nfidence", or "conf'dence", or "confid'nce". If so, then yes. Otherwise, no.
I put it this way because, for all I know, your accent may be different from mine.
