Teaching Quicken

You don't say what version of Quicken you intend to focus on. I have no specific knowledge in this area.

I think you could start by reading the Users Guide for the version you intend to use.

Also Googling turns up some references to curricula and Quicken, such as this one from Costco (for Q2003):

Depending on how you word your search, you may find a few others; what I saw was usually version specific and for older versions.

I've just answered your post on the Quicken Forum.

Here's a site that might help you structure a class:

not up-to-date so you'd have to update it for the current version that you are using.

You could take any primer on Quicken and simply go through the Table of Contents and develop lessons based on that. The closer the text to Intuit, the better. Just a thought. Probably wont' miss any major pieces doing it this way.

IIRC, I recently saw a "Quicken 2005 for Dummies" book at CompUSA. (RANT ON -- I abhor use of the word "dummies", as it plays on people's insecurities. Having done my share of computer training, getting newbies to overcome the idea that they *can't* learn computers/software/whatever is difficult enough. -- RANT OFF) I have to say some of these books are actually quite good. I don't know about the Quicken one specifically, since I've been using Quicken so long, I didn't feel the need to pick it up. Anyway, browsing the table of contents and content itself may give you some good ideas for developing your own material. I did computer training before there was much predeveloped curricula available for purchase, so I always developed my own. To be honest, I prefer creating my own training material. By the time I've completed it, I know the course inside and out and can do it in my sleep. :-)
