Introduction

Welcome to the NCC Online training system. Thank you for choosing to complete your

studies with us and we hope that you will find the experience both fun and informative. This

document will provide you with some basic instructions to help get you started on your

course.

PLEASE NOTE:If you are completing a general interest course that you purchased through

NCC Training Resources, you should refer to the user guide that appears on your course

materials page.

How do I get started?

Before making a start on your studies, in order to ensure that your programme content works

efficiently we advise that you run the website using the following browsers; Chrome (Version

30 or above), Firefox (Version 24 or above), or Safari (Version 5.1.7 or above).

If you do not currently run the suggested browsers above, you may find it useful to follow the

suggested link below to download the latest free version of Google Chrome.

https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/browser/

It must also be noted that if you are running either the Firefox or Internet Explorer browser, it

may be that you need to ensure the most up to date version of Adobe Flash Player is

installed for your content to load. You can download the latest version for free by following

the link below.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Once you are running an appropriate web browser for your course, it is of the upmost

importance that you ensure pop-ups are enabled on your web browsers settings. If

this action is not completed, it is highly unlikely that your course content will load!

For guidance on altering pop-up blocker settings, please follow a link below, relevant

to the web browser you are using;
