This may be slow for folks already doing basic IT, but for those with computer navigational skills this is a great place to start to move forward. Even if you don't have an interest in working in this field, taking this course teaches you how to more effectively troubleshoot and think critically about whatever issues you might come across in your daily computing.

Teaching the fundamentals may seem not necessary, but it is the foundation blocks for success in the IT field. Thank you for putting together instructors that are in the field and that can relate to each of us on several levels.

great intro course for people interested in IT without much experience. Even with all my knowledge as a network administrator, I learned a lot of things I was unfamiliar with with actual application and machine functions. The instructors appeared knowledgeable and the course was paced in a way that did not make me feel like I was out of my depth or overwhelmed

This course was great and filled with tons of information that is essential to getting into the space of IT. I've learned a lot and was able to reinforce a lot of the information I knew while I was growing up with the tech. It was amazing to see where we were and where we are now in terms of technology. I highly recommend this course for anyone trying to learn!

The course is presented in a straightforward manner and is full of good practices for supporting troubleshooting and repair of computers.

I could have skipped some of the videos that introduce the presenters because it is their unique experience towards information technology career that won't necessarily be part of my experience trying to get into I.T. career.

Having more than 2 decades of IT experience, I can tell you this course does a great job of explaining the base level fundamentals of Technical Support. If you are completely new to IT and/or support, you will gain a lot of insights into the Tech Support field and will get your feet wet in the areas that you will deal with on a daily basis in a real world job.

It is an honor to be here and take google certificate courses for the subject i am passionate about for my whole life. Thank you Information technologies, Internet, Engineers, Scientists and Google Crew (Kevin Limehouse, Devan Sri-Tharan, Cindy Gouache, Victor Escobedo, Gian Picasa, Phelan Vendeville, Marti Clark, Rob Clifton) for making all of this possible.

The most interesting thing I learned in the Google Technical Support Fundamentals course was the importance of communication in technical support. Technical support professionals need to be able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical users. This can be challenging, but it is essential to being able to successfully resolve user issues.

I believe the quizzes after each lesson were beneficial. The courses met the learning needs of various learning styles. An auditory learner and visual learner would benefit from taking this course. There were diverse instructors. Go Google! Additionally, providing learners with words of encouragement throughout the lessons were beneficial. Job well done!

I really enjoyed getting a brief introduction to each topic this course will cover before taking a deep dive into each topic. This allowed me to get a general idea of what will be covered, and it also allowed me to see which areas of technology I might be more interested in than others. This will allow me to make a better decision when choosing a career in IT.

it was the most precise basic information about I.T. Support and it started from scratch so I enjoyed learning it, times like our its hard for one to go get a certificate because of their particular daily routine and here thanks to Coursera and Google for educating people like me who don't have enough time to learn something new to change their field of work.

In my opinion, this course was well designed and constructed.

The instructors were clear, interesting, and human.

The resources made available made it easier to follow along.

I learned, and there were only a few, maybe even a couple of occasions when I got confused.

I would recommend this course to anyone.

Google, keep making these great courses.

"IT" was enriching.

Between doing this on my phone and my computer i encountered a few issues but hey!, it is an IT class anyways so it was okay to have to troubleshoot somethings. Sometimes the videos went a little to fast and i had trouble comprehending what was just said before the next thing was said but over all it was very informative which is what i am here for so 5 stars!

I'm glad I took a chance and took this IT fundamentals course. While I know there is much more to learn this has given me a road map and helped me visualize the tech side of things as most of us use it look up dancing cats. It has made me more aware of myself and the amount of work that goes into maintain this large world-wide network that we are all fond of.

I had no idea about what really went into being an IT support specialist. I enjoy working with tech but i did not really know many details about technology. But through this course I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I have an idea of what I should be looking for in the tech industry, and I have confidence that I can make a career in that field.

I love that the instructor has mentioned most of the parts that we need to focus on during this course. I love that they provided us with additional links for things that we may want to dig deeper such as the speed of the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Most importantly, I love that the course started with a challenge such converting decimals to binaries. Excellent job!

Pensei em aperfeiçoar meus conhecimentos em T.I e decidi fazer esse curso online da Coursera disponibilizado pela Google. Não acreditei na quantidade de conteúdo que o curso disponibiliza de forma simples e objetiva. Aprendi muito mesmo conhecendo alguns assuntos.

Obrigado pela oportunidade de aprender um pouco mais sobre essa área pela qual sou apaixonado <3
