Awesome instructors. The concepts are explained well. I do wish there was more practice and exams throughout the course as I and a visual hands-on learner. Maybe an additional practice area could be added for courses for the more hands-on learners.

The only part i was little confused about was the labs and how they work we ran into a couple issues one being my computer wasn't capable of running remote desktop. But after talking to customer service they suggested a site called allmydestops.com

Love it and learned a lot. At first it was not that easy for me to go back and resume the course because I can't easily find the link but got used to it in the process. Thanks everyone for creating this! I hope you continue to update this course.

If you're looking for a course that will open a window into the world of IT, you have found it. While this course will go over plenty of things you already know, this course will also set the foundation on which more complex IT subjects will lie.

As an actual Tech Support, This course was very very comprehensive and just really solidifies my experience from the business. Also all the stories and those testimonials were just very motivational, so much so, gonna go finish some more courses.

I was wondering if there was a way to rewind without the video having to reload. Internet stability is not so great at my location . Not having to reload every bit of the video would be very convenient, aside that it is all pretty good Thank you.

A well designed Course by Google, which deals with the aspects on Tech support. Good content and the labs are most experiencing. Also gives an insight on the Technical interviews.

Thank you Google Team and Coursera for providing such a nice course.

I learned a lot and at my own pace, goes into detail and gives a lot of information but it is spread out so it isn't so overwhelming. It was a course where I didn't feel burned out and kept feeling motivated by the stories people would talk about.

The first course (evidently, in a series of six courses) of Technical Support Fundamentals was very informative and explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Anyone looking to learn about Information Technology should consider taking this course.

Excellent fundamental course. It brushed me up on concepts I've taught myself while also learning quite a few new things. I love the idea of virtual labs because it's a much better tool than just memorizing concepts instead of putting them to use.

I haven't tuned myself to use the software, but I understand their general utility. Video games, music players, and Internet browsers present themselves as special types of applications and have the capabilities necessary to use them differently.
