The short answer
Yes. Lessons, notes, quizzes, your portal and the checkout all work on a phone. Course software such as TIA Portal installs on a Windows computer, so do those practical steps there.

Yes. The site is designed for phones first. On a phone you can:
- watch lessons and read the written notes
- take the practice quizzes and the final assessment
- see your progress, certificates and receipts
- pay at checkout, with Apple Pay or Google Pay where Stripe offers them
- try the 3D Lab if your phone supports WebGL (see The 3D Lab says it needs WebGL)
What needs a computer
The vendors' software that many courses use, such as TIA Portal or Studio 5000, installs on a Windows computer, not on a phone. Each course page lists what to download. You can still watch the lessons on your phone and do the practical steps on a computer later; your progress is saved to your account.
If the page looks wrong on your phone
- Reload the page.
- Turn your phone sideways, or zoom out.
- Update your browser.
- Try another browser.
- If it is still wrong, tell us the phone, the browser and the page address.
