Audio

Since our courses use audio, students using a computer will require a sound card with external speakers or headphones.

Email

Communications between students and WCI are distributed by email. Students must have access and verify their email regularly while taking a course. This email account will also be used as your student number (account number) within the WCI platform.

Be sure to white list our email domain, woundscanada.ca (sometimes email providers like Hotmail use the term "Safe Senders" to refer to a white list).
