• A desktop/tower computer with a separate monitor is recommended. (Laptops are okay to use but you will want a second monitor)
• Windows 7 is accepted by most clients (*Windows 8, Vista and Mac OSX may be supported for a limited set of opportunities) ***My advise would be to have a Windows 7 computer so you don’t limit the clients you can partner with.
