Hardware recommendations for online training

As a minimum, you’ll need an Internet-connected computer with:

• Audio capability: a headset, or microphone and speakers, so you can hear and be heard.
• A webcam.
• The software on which you’re being trained installed. This must be in its default, out-of-the-box state (not customised).
• Two screens – one to follow the training, and the other to practice using the software you’re learning, carry out exercises, etc.

If you’re not able to use two screens with the same computer, a fallback option is to use two separate devices. The device you use to follow the training can be a Windows computer, Mac, iPad or Android tablet.

For the best experience, we recommend that you use a real mouse. If you’re using a laptop or MacBook, we advise against using its trackpad. For CAD and related courses, your mouse should have a scroll wheel.
