ADDITIONAL NOTES

Mobile Devices

We are completely supporting mobile devices when using our online classes, but only Android Devices. Development is on going for iOS and we look forward to offering this in the future.

Apple Mac Computers

We recommend you use a Windows PC or laptop, however, Apple Mac computers can be used. We are obliged to make our users aware that we are unable to support Apple Mac computers as fully as Windows computers. Apple Macs also work with different file types to Windows, therefore, if an Apple Mac is used, Office for Mac is required to save documents in the correct file types, otherwise files may need to be converted for compatibility.

Internet Connection

We recommend a wired network connection is used wherever possible rather than Wi-Fi. We recommend a minimum Internet download speed of 10 Mbps.

Printer and Scanner

We recommend that students have access to a printer and scanner for school work as some subjects require the printing and scanning of class exercises and exams.

ChromeBook/Chrome OS

The Chrome Operating System is not supported with our system.

Tablet Computers

Tablet computers, only Android, are supported with our system.

Sound

All setups will require speakers and a microphone. We recommend the use of a headset which combines both headphones and microphone.

Software Requirements

An office package – Microsoft Office is recommended. Students will have access to the online versions of Microsoft Office apps whilst they are attending the school. These apps can perform the majority of tasks needed for school work but do have limitations compared to the installed versions.

A PDF viewer – Adobe Reader is recommended.

Internet browser – Google Chrome (v70.0 and above) is recommended.

Ritzy C-suite® software – We will provide you access to it at the time of registration.
