In order for the platform to work correctly, you should be running the latest versions of the main browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and InternetExplorer/Edge. Your PC should also be running Windows 7 or later, or OS X 10.9 or later. Mobile devices should be running the latest versions of iOS or Android.
Although these are the basic requirements, technology platforms do change and additional browser plugins, settings, apps etc. may be required and will be advised from time to time by our Student Success Team.
