OLLI-USF has specialized in computer training for older adults since 1993. We believe learning at our age should be a pleasant and profitable experience, and we intend to make it so. That is why our classes are small and structured to ensure hands-on instruction and personal attention. The courses are taught by a dedicated group of knowledgeable volunteers who are assisted by three to four coaches (all older adults ourselves) who stand by to work with students individually, as needed.

Become a well-rounded learner and receive recognition for your accomplishment! Find out how you can earn a Renaissance Certificate of Lifelong Learning.
