We strongly recommend having an actual computer (laptop or desktop) to complete your training, not a mobile device. Mobile devices (iPads, Chromebooks, tablets, or smartphones) will, in some situations, work for introductory study; functionality will be limited, so we do not recommend them as the primary source of study.
Note: Chromebooks are not compatible for the Healthcare Documentation Specialist program due to the software requirements of the program.
Minimum PC Requirements:
- At least 13″ screen if purchasing a laptop – smaller than this, and the text gets quite difficult to read
- Minimum dual-core CPU
- Minimum 4 GB RAM
- Minimum 250 GB hard drive
- Windows 10 or higher
- High-speed internet
- Adobe Reader or equivalent PDF reader
- A working copy of Microsoft Word is required for the Healthcare Documentation Specialist program
