Will my firewall software affect me accessing my learndirect course?

A firewall is a system designed to monitor and control access to a computer. Firewalls protect your computer against attacks over the internet such as 'worms' and help prevent unauthorised access to your computer.

A firewall may prevent some learndirect courses or content from being accessible, so if you have problems with accessing content then check that your firewall is not rejecting content form learndirect.

The easiest way to ensure that your firewall is not blocking your access to learndirect services is to use your firewall control panel to allow data from *.learndirect.co.uk

In order to make these changes to your firewall software we would advise that you refer to the user manual that came with the software, or alternatively visit the Firewall company website and access the relevant help pages.

Please contact learndirect Learner Services for further information.
