Online and Disc Training System Requirements

Online System Requirements

• Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. Must have JavaScript enabled. Pop-up blocker software, including Yahoo! And Google toolbars, may need to be disabled to avoid interference with viewing of online instruction and/or exercises.

• 16-bit sound card w/ speakers or headphones.

* If you have a slower Internet connection you can still take our courses, they will just take longer to download. If you're concerned about performance, try one of our demo courses to see if your system meets your expectations before you buy.

Tip: If you wait until the entire video instruction downloads (which is complete when the progress bar at the bottom is dark) you can view it without playback interruptions, even at slower connection speeds.
