Tech Check Will your device work properly? two taps and you'll know

About half of your hours are online — video lessons, 360° walkthroughs, and self-paced coursework. The good news: if your phone, tablet, or laptop is from the last few years, you're almost certainly fine. Pick your device below to see exactly what you need.

What You'll Need

Pick the kind of device you'll study on, then the brand. We'll show you the minimum that works and the recommended setup for buttery-smooth 360° lessons.

1 · Choose your device

2 · Choose the brand

iPhone

Apple iOS phones
Minimum — it works
  • iOS 15 or newer
  • iPhone X, XS, or XR (3 GB RAM)
Recommended — smooth
  • iPhone 11 or newer for the smoothest 360° lessons

Heads up: iPhone 8 and older isn't supported for our 360° lessons. Everything else still works on it.

Android Phone

Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola & more
Minimum — it works
  • Android 10 or newer
  • Chrome 90+ (keep it updated)
  • 4 GB RAM · a 2019-or-newer mid-range phone
Recommended — smooth
  • A newer chip and a bit more RAM for the smoothest 360° playback

Budget phones older than 2019 may stutter on 360° lessons — everything else runs fine.

iPad

Apple iPadOS tablets
Minimum — it works
  • iPadOS 15 or newer
  • iPad 7th-gen or iPad Air 3 and up
Recommended — smooth
  • Any recent iPad Air or iPad Pro

Hold your iPad in landscape for the SCORM lessons — they're built wide.

Android Tablet

Samsung Galaxy Tab, Lenovo & more
Minimum — it works
  • Android 10 or newer
  • Chrome 90+ (keep it updated)
  • 4 GB RAM · a 2019-or-newer mid-range tablet
Recommended — smooth
  • A newer chip and more RAM for smooth 360° playback

Use it in landscape for the SCORM lessons, and keep Chrome updated.

Windows PC

Laptops & desktops
Minimum — it works
  • Windows 10 or 11
  • Chrome / Edge 100+ (or Firefox 100+)
  • 4 GB RAM · screen at least 1280×720
Recommended — smooth
  • 8 GB RAM for the smoothest experience

A bigger screen makes the hands-on technique videos easier to follow — but a laptop is plenty.

Mac

MacBook, iMac & Mac mini
Minimum — it works
  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer
  • Safari 15+ or Chrome 100+
Recommended — smooth
  • Any Mac from the last few years handles everything with ease

Both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs work great.

Internet Connection

No matter which device you choose
Minimum
5 Mbps
Download speed — enough for the video lessons on a stable connection.
Recommended
10+ Mbps
For the 360° lessons and live calls. A wired or strong Wi-Fi connection is best.
