The curriculum consists of four courses: "Seattle's Spirit: Sports & Events," covering the city's sports scene and annual events; "Mastering the Art of Selling Seattle," offering strategies to showcase the city to potential travelers; "Exploring the Great Outdoors: Seattle's Adventure Guide," detailing outdoor activities and natural wonders; and "Savoring Seattle: A Culinary Journey," focusing on the city's food and drink scene.

Participants who complete the program receive a "Seattle Certified" designation. The program includes access to free resources including visuals; guides; and updates on destination news, trends and attractions.
