Technical Requirements Checklist

Modified on: Wed, 19 Feb, 2025 at 12:00 PM


In order for the online assessment to run successfully a number of technical requirements must be met. Please read through this section carefully.


Local Network and Internet Connection

It is essential that your local network and Internet connections are sufficient for the number of simultaneous users you plan to have.


IMPORTANT: The network load for using our service can be roughly equated to that of general web browsing.


No large downloads are required, but the service uses a fairly high volume of very small requests.


Please check:

  • If your users will be using wifi access points, are they sufficient to cope with the number of concurrent users?
  • Are your firewalls/proxies able to cope with the throughput?
  • Is your Internet connection sufficient?
  • Will you have users accessing the Internet or network for other reasons?


Device Support

The assessment has been designed to work on modern computers and tablets with mouse, touchpad or touch based interface.


Tablet Support

  • Apple iPad with iPadOS 13+ using Safari or Chrome.
  • Android 8+ using the latest version of Chrome.
  • 10+ inch tablets supported in landscape or portrait.
  • 7 inch tablets should only be used in landscape mode.


Desktop PC Support

  • Supported Browsers: Chrome (recent versions), Firefox (recent versions), Safari (16+), and Edge (recent versions).
  • Internet Explorer is no longer supported.
  • Any operating system that supports the above browsers is supported.
  • The hardware should be sufficient to deal easily with JavaScript heavy web pages.


Phone Support

Phones are not recommended. Although they will run the assessment, phone screens are not large enough for candidates to complete the test as quickly as desktops and tablets. Therefore, candidates would not get accurate scores.


Display/Screen Requirements

  • Minimum Resolution: 1024 x 768
  • Minimum Screen Size: 7 inches if in landscape orientation, 10 inches if in portrait.


Display Recommendations

  • The assessment should be displayed at a minimum of 14cm wide. This is particularly important to check on high DPI screens ( > 150 DPI).
  • A screen size of 10 inches or more is recommended.


Firewall Requirements

  • The following domains must be added to network firewall and proxy white-lists
    • *.morrisby.com
    • cdnjs.cloudflare.com
    • fonts.googleapis.com
    • www.skillsbuilder.org
  • Ajax requests (gets and posts) must be enabled.


Other Recommendations

  • Ad-blocking browser plug-ins should be disabled.
  • Browsers should be displayed at full screen size and at 100% zoom.
  • All other programs should be closed before starting the assessment.
  • All other browser tabs/windows should be closed before starting the assessment.
  • Browsers and browser versions other than those listed may work, but are not officially supported and tested for. Therefore, we'd recommend thoroughly testing the assessment if you intend to use an unlisted browser.
