Answer:
your father should join swift courses offered by NIIT or from SSi to deal with trading requirement.

There should not be any problem. Many retired people these days are doing it. Some of them whom I know didn't even know to sell shares and had not touched computers earlier are successfully doing it. You must have computer with windows XP at your place. Try some brief courses at NIIT likes for about a month. With your BSc there should not be any problem at all. Best wishes!

Find a place that offers ESL (English as a second language) tutors. (Call a community service place for a referral, or a community college). A tutor can meet with him and find out exactly what he needs to learn. Where I live, people can get this sort of help for free. Congratulations to him on working towards his goal.
