Here's some free curriculum to use for training which is not that bad to use but interesting that it would use a product that they discontinued as part of the training.
The Unlimited Potential Community Learning Curriculum provides the foundation for teaching basic to intermediate technology skills in a hands-on manner. Designed to be used in community technology centers (CTCs) or telecenters, the curriculum provides quality content focused on real-world skill development in the areas of:

Here's a list of the courses:
Course 1: Computer Fundamentals
