We use "rich-media" presentations, including streaming video, audio, and slide presentations to enhance the learning experience.
CONNECTION SPEED
If you are connecting to the internet using a dial-up modem connection then this may NOT be for you. Many of the courses use rich media with audio and video. You need a minimum connection of Broadband, DSL, or Cable. With a slower connection you can still view some movies, or the video will drop allowing you to hear the audio or they will just take longer to download. Be sure to view some free demo movies to check to see if you're happy with the speed and performance before you subscribe.

We only support the latest version Internet Explorer on the PC (While we are told that these courses can be seen with current MACs we can not guarantee or support them.)
