Felt like a great place to start dipping your toes into the IT world. I appreciated the brief history of computing at the beginning to help orient us, and also the interviews with people in the field to give a sense of what could be next for those of use pursuing this field. The course itself was presented largely in a clear concise way that was not overwhelming. Highly recommend!

I am so blessed by God and so greatful with coursera and Google for letting add those new skills to my professional carrer for instance software and hadware, there were moment were some things just did not add up but with a little bit of extra resources and first God's help I was able to figure things out, and now I am more than excited to keep learning and put my skills to practice.

I was surprised by how much I felt I already knew but I learned a very great deal through this course. I definitely feel like my basics are covered and I can start to "speak the language" better. It's very inspiring the way it is presented as well. It was very professionally done and made the User feel at ease while learning about some fairly complicated and intricate information.

This is a very good introductory course to IT. As someone who has done IT for the last 3 years, and technical support for over 10, I can say confidently this is some of the most engaging material I've seen.

IT has a reputation of being confusing and it is the every day responsibility of IT Support rep's to make this easy for our customers to understand. This course does that superbly!

Excellent course that is presented in an easy to understand language. All presenters took time to make sure that the materials was easily absorbed while maintain the level of difficulty essential to understand the various scenarios that are likely to come up for people providing IT support. Thank you to Google and Coursera for creating such a wonderful learning experience, well done!

Great first course! Lots of knowledge and information. The only "problem" I had with the course (and this isn't about Google) is that one of my assignments still says not done and I need to reset my deadlines even though it was an optional assignment between two assignments. I realize it's a Coursera error, however it is still not fun to see on the screen. Other than that I loved it!

Easy course to fallow even for beginners. There were some lessons where I needed some extra reading, and even though there are some recommendations, reading outside of those helped me to get a better understanding. You can do it at your own peace, I decided to do it on an intensive mode as the time I can allocate for online learning is limited so wanted to learn as much as possible.

It has been recommended that you need a PC to complete the courses and the plug-in assignments, but it can also be done using your mobile phone like me! (I didn't have a PC) You can just put the page on Desktop View, to complete the graded plug-ins. And as for qwiklabs, I used an RDP and also an SSH app I got from play store. It worked perfectly! And I have completed my course too!

This course is a really good introduction to the IT world. I wouldn't say that I would feel confident to just drive right away into an IT support role without some additional training, I did find this course very insightful on some problems that I would encounter. I feel like there should have been more labs or more applied knowledge instead of just multiple choice questions though.

Amazing!!! A lot of effort was put into this course! You learn the fundamentals of computers and more!!

The best part is anyone without any prior experience or understanding of computers would be able to understand or follow along with these trainings.

This could definitely be the absolute starting point towards a career or understanding towards computers and IT technical support!!

I enjoyed this introductory course. It was a prelude and basis for a lot of fundamentals in IT. Coming from some knowledge in IT it was great to get a refresher on these topics and begin the practicing of the fundamentals again. It is suited for beginners and does a nice job in keeping you motivated to continue and to learn more if you truly have a passion for IT. Highly recommend.

Great course, the way this video learning was setup and produced made it easy to follow what the instructors were talking about. The instructors themselves were very personable and knew how to get the information across in a way that was easy to understand. I love the ability to go back and rewatch or re read information from earlier modules.. I'm looking forward to the next module

The information was truly a basic introduction to technical support fundamentals. It is always good to review, refresh and reflect on objectives before starting a new assignment or task. The different perspectives on technical support was helpful and inclusive of the different opportunities. I would like to take a moment to thank the team at Google and contributors for program.

Really good course. It was all refresher for me but I liked that the course tied together and reminded me of all I have learned over the years and in some of my time in college. I do not have a degree and for financial reasons am not able to go back to college for the foreseeable future. This course. and the IT Professional Certification Program as a whole is very valuable to me.

Very well designed course. I already knew a lot of it, but I feel that it was presented in a way that I wanted to listen even to the things I already understood, and in a few instances I ended up learning that I didn't understand as much as I thought. I really appreciated the opportunity and the challenges, I definitely feel more confident about the idea of Technical Support now.

This course is the very beginning of the IT Support journey. I was introduced to the instructors that taught the rest of the specialization and learned about each part of what an IT Support Specialist will do. The modules are informative and concise. They provide an overview of everything that you'll learn throughout the duration of the Google IT Support Professional Certificate.

I can only describe this wonderful and great journey. I was surprised by the huge amount of information that I absorbed in this course. I thank Google for giving me this opportunity in order to obtain this knowledge. I also thank all the professors who were at the level in terms of knowledge, education and study. Simply can be described in one word. One is that it's a great trip

I really appreciate how little this course assumes about its participants and how much they show that people from diverse backgrounds can get into this field. It is incredibly encouraging to find something like this that has depth without having to spend the amount of time and money required to get a full-on degree for those of us who are in a position where that isn't feasible.

This course, which I studied, is very useful for developing my knowledge of the basics of information technology. It added new and important things to my information. It opened a door for me to expand my field of work and develop my studies in this vital field.

This course gives you an easy to follow instructions, comprehensive and relevant lesson content, and objectives. This course is engaging and immersive for someone who has been away from the field for a while or new to the field. It gives you the building blocks for a career in IT. The troubleshooting course skills are transferable to just about any other customer-centric career.

I've worked and studied in IT and can say this course does cover the fundamentals for supporting in IT. I would recommend this course as a good start / eye opener to the world of IT support and to get your foot in. As for someone who is in this world, it is a good refresher course and had elements that I did that play around with before as well so I learned a little bit as well.
