Our Classes

SeniorNet, a nationwide all-volunteer organization of seniors, is open to seniors, age 50 and over! We offer any senior, willing to learn, the opportunity to become competent with computers and share the excitement of the newest technologies. Our courses are designed to provide basic knowledge and experience and limited intermediate skill development on computers using the Windows operating system. Classes are small with lots of hands-on training and are in short, two hour segments.

Class session times are listed with each course. Please confirm the class start time at the time of registration. SeniorNet classes are scheduled to make efficient use of the available school facilities.

Sorry, SeniorNet of Puget Sound does not offer Apple Macintosh training.
