A Guide to EDHEC Online Technical Requirements
Online learning offers total flexibility, but it relies on an invisible foundation: your equipment. An unsuitable configuration is more than just a technical detail; it is a direct obstacle to your focus, exams, and interactions in virtual classrooms.
To ensure a smooth, secure, and uninterrupted learning experience, we invite you to validate your setup right now using our diagnostic tool:

This guide details the standards required to host your future curriculum under the best possible conditions.
Your Main Workstation
While tablets and smartphones allow you to consult content on the go, earning your degree requires a computer (PC or Mac). Critical activities (exams, collaborative workshops) demand the power and ergonomics of a full machine.
| Component | Minimum Configuration | Recommended Configuration |
| Screen | 12 inches (1360 x 768 px) | 14 inches or larger |
| Memory (RAM) | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Processor | 64-bit / Dual-core | Recent processor (Intel i5/M1 or higher) |
| Accessories | Physical keyboard & mouse | Headset with integrated mic |
Note on Operating Systems: You must use a version supported by the developer (Windows 10/11 or recent versions of macOS). Obsolete systems are the primary targets for security vulnerabilities and display bugs.
Connectivity & Browsing
Your connection stability is the #1 success factor during "Live" sessions.
-
The Browser: Google Chrome is our reference for maximum compatibility. Ensure you are using a recent version (v145+).
The Network: A speed of 10 Mb/s is required.
- Pro Tip: Avoid unstable public Wi-Fi or corporate VPNs, which often block video streams (WebRTC).
- Audio & Video: Your webcam and microphone must be enabled in your browser settings to participate in discussions.
Software & Educational Ecosystem
Most of our tools are accessible via your browser. However, for an optimal experience, we recommend installing the following native applications:
- Zoom App: For better audio management and screen sharing during classes.
- Slack : Essential for interactivity with your cohort and mentors.
- Specific Tools: Depending on your program, software such as Tableau, Power BI, or Python may be required.
Security & Compliance
For our platforms to function correctly, your browser must not block essential elements.
- Extensions: Disable or configure ad-blockers (like AdBlock) to allow EDHEC domains. They may prevent video players or exam tools (LTI/SSO) from loading.
- Geography: If you are traveling, please note that some platforms may be restricted in regions under international sanctions.
💡 Support IT Advice
Don't underestimate digital eye strain. If you plan on long study sessions, the recommended configuration (14-inch screen and 8 GB RAM) is not a luxury. A smooth-running computer reduces cognitive load, allowing you to stay focused on the educational content rather than technical lag.

Adhering to these prerequisites is the sine qua non condition for a guaranteed experience. In the event of non-compliance, EDHEC Online cannot be held responsible for any technical limitations encountered.
