16. Minimum System Requirements for Online Training Courses

16.1 Flash Player: Latest version is recommended.

16.2 Operating System / Browsers: We support the last three major Internet Explorer versions and all current versions of other browsers.

16.3 We are continually evolving our products to keep up with the changes in technology. And to remain compatible it may be necessary for Clients to upgrade their systems to keep up with current technology. Browsers such as Chrome and Mozilla Firefox 'auto-update', so users of these browsers are usually automatically on the latest release. We are hoping that Microsoft will move towards this in the near future, so that everyone will automatically be using the latest release of any browser and so be automatically supported. Until this happens it may be necessary for Clients to manually download the latest version to their systems.
