Computer and browser requirements by Learning Management System

Many of our courses are hosted on a learning management system (LMS). Before your course begins, we'll email you instructions on accessing your course, and information specific to the LMS, such as setting up an account if one is required.

Here you’ll find computer and system requirements for specific learning management systems.
