Seniors Training Seniors in Computer Basics

Beginning classes for seniors to learn computer basics, e-mail and the Internet in a safe and fun environment are currently available.  Please check back often; schedules are subject to change and new classes and centers are added frequently! The Seniors Training Seniors program is brought to you by the Seattle Human Services Department and the Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens.  

All classes are taught by seniors and intended for seniors only. No computer experience is necessary.  The online portion of student training begins with hands on exercises to develop basic 'mousing' skills.

If you are over 50 and would enjoy bringing other seniors into the "wired world", why not become one of our trained Volunteer Lead Instructors?  Assistants may be under 50 years old.   If you have good basic computing and/or teaching skills and would like to join us, please call Patricia Bell (206) 684-0639, or send an email to patricia.bell@seattle.gov for more information.

Class Information

Participants are required to attend four days of training as each class builds on the information from the prior day's lesson.  Each class is two hours long.  Our instructors and assistants work closely with students until they feel comfortable with the computer.  Many seniors enjoy taking the class more than once.  Call the Training Center closest to you to register.  There may be a nominal charge, please inquire when calling.
