Closed Captioning

Closed captioning is a great resource for the hearing impaired and anyone who wants to read along with the video training. To view closed-captioning subtitles, set your screen to 1024x768 or 1280x1024, and use QuickTime 7.0.4* or newer. You can also use closed captioning to quickly find information in a course - using the "Find text in captions" box.

* Mac Safari users: please download QuickTime 7.5.5 or newer to avoid problems with closed captioning.
