Computer Requirements

What kind of computer is required for online courses? What if I don’t have much computer experience?

The computer requirements for online courses are very minimal. The easiest way to determine if your computer meets the technical requirements for online courses is to complete a free browser check at the RamCT website. This free browser check will ensure your computer is properly configured.

Some courses may require additional software or computer requirements to meet the instructional requirements for the course — check the details on the course webpage for information on these requirements.

You do not need technical skills to take an online course. However, you should be comfortable navigating the Internet, using email, and using Microsoft Office (or equivalent) programs like Word, Excel, and potentially PowerPoint.
