I can only suggest one thing : make sure they understand why every single action by them does something. Do not make the mistake of trying to cut corners and learn them a set sequence of actions to accomplish something, like "Press Ctrl-P and then OK to print". It may seem basic, but if you really learn people what programs are, and how the standard elements of a Windows interface work, shortcut keys will be an easy addon. In fact if you do it right, people will be able to figure out how to print on their own instead of you having to teach them a sequence of clicks/key presses they don't understand for every little thing they do.
It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that there's a gazillion beginners courses that all make the same basic mistake of going way too fast and covering too much ground, learning only sequences of actions instead of the whole fundament of how computers work. A much longer, detailed course that concentrates on the why of every action more than on the how would be worth a thousand beginners courses.
If I can give you one advice : aim low and make sure you reach that target. You will have accomplished much more than if you try to cram it all in a few sessions.
