The current videos require the use of Flash in order to play them so we can continue to support Closed Captioning.  You will need to enable Flash for any browser you are using.

We are in the process of converting all of our training videos to a new format that will allow them to be viewed without the use of Flash and allow us to maintain the Closed Captioning and reporting features.  Our target for having all videos converted is October 10th.
