What are the technical requirements for accessing the courses?
In order to access your courses, all you'll need is a modern web browser and an internet connection that is fast enough to play our online videos.
In regards to our videos, we use Azure Media Services as our primary video provider, and all new courses (2017 and onward) are hosted on Azure. Our older course catalog (pre-2017) is hosted on Vimeo.
If you can play videos from Vimeo without problems, then you should have no problem accessing our courses and playing videos with minimal interference!
If you do experience any buffering issues with videos, we recommend visiting our troubleshooting page for assitance: One or more of the videos are not playing. What should I do?
