# What are the technical requirements for Online Learning courses?

Your computer or mobile device must be able to support streaming of large interactive video files.

For the best experience with formatting, we recommend IFM account access on a desktop or laptop computer with [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download?form=MA13FJ) or [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)as the browser.

For the best experience with streaming, we recommend connecting to a safe and secure internet connection as public/office WiFi may have limitations or firewalls.
