Browser and Device Compatibility

Current Online Courses (2015 and later)

All of Routsis Training’s online courses now run on a large variety of different web browsers, operating systems and devices. General requirements for playback are:

  • A modern web browser with Adobe Flash® or HTML5 video playback capability
  • High-speed internet access

Desktop Computer Systems

The SkillSet™ courses will run on almost any computer with recent a Windows® or Macintosh® operating system. We recommend using one of the following web browsers:

Microsoft Windows® Tablet Devices and Phones

We recommend Internet Explorer 10 or later for all Microsoft Windows-based handheld devices, such as Microsoft Surface™ and Windows Phone™ products. However, the latest version of Google Chrome also provides good playback.

Apple iPad™ and iPhone™

For devices running iOS, we recommend using the latest Apple Safari or Google Chrome.

You may receive a warning about browser compatibility: This is safe to ignore if you are using the latest version of Safari or Chrome.

Android Tablets

Larger Android tablets with higher screen resolutions provide better playback quality. However, most will provide an adequate learning experience for users. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome.

We have also found that Opera for Android provides good playback on tablets – and features full-screen HTML5 video playback, which is good for Android devices with smaller screens.

You may receive a warning about browser compatibility: This is safe to ignore if you are using the latest version of Chrome or Opera.

Android Phones

We recommend using the latest version of Opera for Android.

Other Devices

For operating systems and devices not listed above, be sure that your web browser supports either Flash or HTML5 video. The latest version of Google Chrome will likely provide the best playback.
