Computer courses for pensioners - course 18,000 rubles. from Coddy School of Programming for Children, training 3 modules (months)

Children grow up with gadgets, so for them computer literacy is absorbed naturally, but their grandparents have problems with it. It’s easy for elderly parents to buy a computer, but not everyone can teach them how to use it, since it requires a long time and a lot of patience. But this does not mean that the road to the world of information technology is closed for the older generation. Learning computer literacy for retirees is a complex science that requires skill and practice. This task is best accomplished by special computer courses for retirees, where experienced teachers know well how to present this or that material to older people.
