Pop-up blockers

For Tools and Instant Advice::

Most pop-up blocking software will NOT interfere with the successful use of these offerings.  However, should pop-up blocker interfere with the offering, please add app.ninthhouse.net to the pop-up blocker exception list.  Alternatively, before starting an offering, you may instruct participants to disable all pop-up blockers on their computer.

For Ninth House Courses:

Korn Ferry uses pop-up windows to track course progress in most courses. Pop-up blocking software will prevent most course tracking from functioning properly, so pop-up blockers should be disabled or excepted as explained above before participants begin working in a Ninth House course.

EXCEPTIONS: Some courses do not require pop-up windows for course tracking. You can ignore these warnings about pop-up blockers if the ONLY courses your participants will be using are:
