What do you need to join our SEO analytics courses?
Do I need previous analytics experience?
Not required. We start with fundamentals and build practical skills progressively.
What software do I need?
A modern browser and internet connection. Analytics tools are web-based and accessible during sessions.
Will this work on my device?
Desktop, laptop, or tablet with stable internet works fine. Mobile phones are less suitable for detailed data work.
Hardware Requirements
Your device needs enough processing power to handle multiple browser tabs and data visualization tools simultaneously.
- Processor: Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent (2015 or newer)
- RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended for smooth multitasking
- Screen: 13-inch display minimum for comfortable data viewing
- Storage: 5GB free space for materials and exported reports
Software Setup
Modern web technologies and up-to-date browsers ensure all tools function correctly during live sessions.
- Browser: Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Edge 90+, or Safari 14+
- Operating System: Windows 10, macOS 10.14, or Ubuntu 18.04
- JavaScript enabled for interactive analytics dashboards
- Cookies enabled for session management and tool access
Connection Standards
Reliable internet connectivity maintains video quality and real-time data synchronization throughout the session.
- Speed: 10 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload minimum
- Connection: Wired ethernet preferred, stable WiFi acceptable
- Latency: Under 100ms for smooth video interaction
- Bandwidth: Consistent during session hours (no heavy background downloads)
Audio & Video Setup
Clear communication requires working audio output and microphone input for questions and discussions.
- Microphone: Built-in or external, noise-canceling preferred
- Speakers/Headphones: Any quality sufficient for clear instructor voice
- Webcam: Optional but recommended for interactive sessions
- Headset: Reduces echo and background noise during group calls
Additional Considerations
A quiet environment and scheduled availability improve learning focus and session participation quality.
- Environment: Quiet space for concentration during 90-minute sessions
- Time zones: Australian business hours (AEST/AEDT) for live interaction
- Calendar access: Ability to schedule and receive session reminders
- PDF reader: For course materials and downloadable resources
Security Settings
Basic security configurations protect your learning account and ensure platform access functions properly.
- Firewall: Configure to allow video conferencing and analytics tools
- Antivirus: Whitelist learning platform domains if needed
- VPN: May cause connection issues; disable during sessions if problems occur
- Pop-up blocker: Allow pop-ups from learning platform Cymorivante

I joined with an older laptop running Windows 10 and honestly worried it wouldn't keep up. Turned out my 2017 Dell with 8GB RAM handled everything fine. The web-based tools loaded quickly and I could switch between tabs without lag. Only issue was when my kids started streaming downstairs, which killed my connection quality temporarily.

Started the course on my MacBook Pro from 2019. Safari worked perfectly with all the analytics dashboards we used during sessions. Had to enable cookies for a couple of tools initially but that was straightforward. Screen sharing worked smoothly when the instructor asked us to show our progress. I did switch to wired ethernet after the first session because WiFi kept dropping during peak hours in my apartment building.
