Browser and Computer Issues

Course not loading? Try these solutions to common issues

What does my computer need to take your courses?

To take our courses, we recommend using the latest version of your favorite browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) on your PC or Mac computer. At this time, tablets and certain smartphones (including iPad, iPhone or Android OS) cannot access our training as they do not support Adobe Flash. You will also need to have the latest Adobe Flash Player. The course will auto detect if you do not have it and a link to the download will be provided. You will also need access to a printer, as your certificate can be printed upon successful course completion, and there are resource documents you may wish to print before you begin your course.

The webpage won't come up; it just says "Page not found."

Close all Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc.) and then open it again. Try typing the website (including www.) in the address bar, instead of using the link from your email or from your favourites list. You may also need to delete your cache.

It's taking a long time to load the course

Each chapter is loaded completely before you begin a lesson, and if you have a dial-up connection this will take longer than if you have a high-speed connection. You may have to delete your cache, and should close all other applications or programs that are open.

My screen is blank when I click on one of the chapters; the course won't play

Your browser security could be blocking the course player. First do a cache clean, then watch for these security messages:

Internet Explorer 11: Is there a pop up at the bottom of the screen that says “Only secure content is displayed”? You will need to click “Show all content”. In older Internet Explorer versions the pop-up asks “Do you want to allow ONLY the content that was downloaded securely?”. You must click “NO”. If you click “Yes” you are asking the browser to block the content. If you have already chosen "Yes", clean your cache and choose "No" when you see the security message.

Mozilla Firefox: A shield symbol appears in the address bar (top left). You must left-click on the shield, and disable protection on the page.

Google Chrome: A shield symbol appears in the address bar (top right). You must left-click on the shield, and allow the unsafe script to load.
