Technical Requirements for Online Learning

We want your learning experience to be smooth, not frustrating. Here's what you'll need to access our savings planning courses and make the most of your time with us.

What Actually Works in Practice

Look, we've tested our platform on everything from brand new laptops to tablets that have seen better days. Most devices from the past five years handle our content just fine. You don't need the latest tech—just something reasonably current.

Browser Compatibility

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge work best. We've noticed that older versions sometimes hiccup on our interactive budget calculators, so keeping your browser updated makes a real difference. If you're still on Internet Explorer—well, it might be time to move on from that one.

Internet Speed Reality Check

We say 5 Mbps minimum, but honestly? Our video lectures stream comfortably at 3 Mbps if you're not running other stuff in the background. The interactive sessions work fine on most Australian home connections. Rural areas with spotty coverage? You can download materials in advance.

Mobile Learning

Plenty of our students use tablets or even phones for quick lessons during lunch breaks. The platform adapts pretty well to smaller screens. That said, when you're working through complex financial planning exercises, a laptop or desktop gives you more breathing room.

Flexible Learning Setup

Study from wherever works for you. Most students switch between devices throughout their course—starting on desktop, reviewing on mobile.

Technical Support Available

Running into issues? Our support team actually responds quickly. Usually within a few hours on weekdays, sometimes faster if we're already online.

From Our Platform Coordinator

"I've helped hundreds of students get set up since 2023. The most common issue? People overthinking it. If you can watch YouTube videos without buffering, you're probably good to go. And if something doesn't work right, we'll sort it out together."
