What you need to study online
A phone is enough to read a lesson. Tests and written work need a little more. This page lists it all, so nothing surprises you after you enrol.
The equipment
Nothing to install, and nothing to buy if you already have a computer and a connection.
- A deviceA laptop or desktop computer for tests and written tasks. Lessons can be read on a phone or a tablet.
- A browserA current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. The courses open in the browser, with no software to install.
- A connectionA steady internet connection. Lessons are mostly text, so an ordinary home or mobile connection is enough.
- An email addressOne that is yours alone and that you read regularly. Your offer, your results and every decision reach you there.
- Your documentsA way to scan or photograph your certificates clearly, and a program that opens PDF files.
- Your IDYour passport or national ID, for the identity check before a test.
What you need to be able to do
Read and write in English
Courses, tests and messages from the University are in English. You need enough English to study a university course in it.
Use a computer for everyday work
Browse the web, write a document, upload a file and send an email. Nothing more technical is asked of you.
Keep a regular hour
A course is about 135 hours of learning. Short lessons fit a free hour, and most of the applied work is done inside your own job.
When you sit a test
- Sit alone, in one sitting. Choose a quiet place and a time when you will not be interrupted. The time allowed is shown before you start.
- Use a computer. A full keyboard and a larger screen make a test easier to read and to answer.
- Have your ID ready. Each test starts with an identity check. You are told what the check involves before your first test.
- If your connection drops. Write to technical support the same day. The record shows what happened, and a person decides whether the test is reopened.
The rules that protect the meaning of your grade are in the academic integrity policy.
If something does not work
- Technical supportEmail [email protected] with the subject "Support". Say which page you were on and what you saw. You receive a reply within 3 working days.
- Assistive technologyIf you use a screen reader or another aid and a page does not work with it, tell us. See the accessibility policy for adjustments to study and to tests.
- Before you enrolThe sample lesson and the sample test on this site show the kind of pages you will study on. Try them on the device you plan to use.
