You need to contact the training company or employer; everyone will be in the same situation. Flash Player is indeed dead.

It's unfortunate that your work is reacting the way they are and impacting the success of your employment.

Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017 giving content creators, programmers, developers, IT experts, etc over 3 years remove Flash Player dependencies from their products. All modern browsers provide the capabilities necessary to do this in JavaScript.  This is an investment and prioritization choice, not a technical limitation.
