Technology Requirements
Prepare your device for learning
Requirements depend on the course and the tools it uses. This checklist covers the basics; read the specific curriculum before installing software or choosing a device.
Browser and operating system
Use an up-to-date browser, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge, and an operating system that receives security updates. Keep both updated.
Connection
You need a stable connection to access materials and play videos. Live sessions and dataset downloads may need more capacity than reading notes or completing simple exercises.
Computer and tools
For coding, a computer with a keyboard is more practical than a phone. Some courses let you work with cloud notebooks; others require software installation. Follow the instructions for your chosen learning path.
Not every exercise requires your own GPU. Check which resources the course offers or requires first.
Videos and external services
Some materials may be hosted on YouTube or other platforms. Check that you can access the services listed by the course and review their terms.
