Broadband internet connection is required to properly view multimedia courses. The link below takes you to CNet's bandwidth speed test.

Click here to test the speed of your internet connection.


 
 

Most of the multimedia-based courses make extensive use of the free Flash plugin. Run your mouse over the bomb below. If the fuse burns and the bomb explodes, you do have the necessary Flash player. If this doesn't happen, click here to test again and you will be prompted to download the necessary Flash version (8.0 or higher).


 
 

Click here to test your system's ability to play mp3 audio files.

If you don't hear anything, you may need to use a different browser (Microsoft IE 6.0 or above works best).


 
 

Click here to see if your browswer is set to block pop-ups.

If the test indicates that a pop-up blocker is running, you can "white list" this site to allow for pop-ups. Use the following instructions to make the change. Remember, you can remove this permission at any time.
