Even more for people that have been in the field a long time this is one of those must revisit to see what is new in the field. A+ Google and Coursera!! I am looking forward to seeing more.

I feel that this course delivered exactly what it said it would, a foundation in the field of technical support. While more has to be learned, this course provided a solid understanding of what technical support would entail - what would be used on the job, the issues one might face, and the type of customer service one would have to provide.

I am an undergraduate 3rd year IT student but learning IT was never this fun for me. I have learned a lot of new things and also something extra about things I knew. This course has made me known that whatever knowledge I have is so little and there is lot to learn. I am very much motivated and will definitely continue learning more about IT.

I am really very grateful for all that I have learned, the most interesting thing I learned was how I could solve problems remotely. I had some problems trying to access Ubuntu virtually from Windows but was able to solve it.

I am really very excited to continue with this course and continue to learn much more and prepare to be an IT Support

This has been a great 1st look into what IT support is all about! The course material is well-rounded and presented in an easy-to-follow manner. I also love that different media types are offered by way of videos, role-play, supplemental reading, quizzes, and assignments. I'm excited to dive into Networking... well, maybe a little scared!

I am a novice at computers. This first course taught me a lot of basic items. The forums were helpful because if I read the supplimental readings sometimes I still did not understand. In the forums fellow students would have other links that explained things a different way so I could get a grasp of the concepts. I cannot wait to learn more.

The fundamental course helps to correct some of my misinformed technical knowledge in IT support. The teaching is very structured and the quiz help me realize my shortcomings and I'm able to review the content again. The instructors are some of the best in the industry, and I'm so glad to be able to learn from their professional experience.

This course was extremely informative and gives you a lot of information so that you can understand IT conceptually from a high-level. It makes a great introductory class for this certification. A great benefit to the course was that it offered the ability to absorb it all by both watching video lectures as well as being able to read along.

It was an awesome course to learn more about the different types of hardware and software also not to mention the history of computer and how to build one from scratch also learning the different operating systems and how to navigate the different operating systems and how to decode computer language into human language via the ASCII table.

This course was awesome, the information was delivered in technical term so that you become more familiar with how to write your papers, it was eye opening to those who have or have not worked in the IT field. Its all step by step, and you can go back to review information that you might not have gotten initially when you watched the video.

This course was a great learning experience for a non-tech person like myself. I've heard about some contents throughout the course but never had a foundational understanding about them. After taking this course, I have accumulated better general understanding of IT and definitely more interested in exploring possibilities in IT careers.

This is a really good course with great and clear content. The instructors are specialists in the topics each one explain, which helps the understanding very much. I felt like the content is really introductory to prepare the student to the next course, but even so, I learnt many things I didn't know. It's a great course and a great start!

This course provides a comprehensive overview of how a computer works, different components that makes up a computer and accessories, the role of operating system and how computers communicate. It also provides some useful advice on dealing with customers while in an IT support role and some tips on job interviews. It's a very good start.

The course is a great high-level overview of essential skills. I had a good foundation of IT skills going into the course because I already work in IT, but it was able to show me a handful of things I didn't know that I didn't know. I highly recommend it to anybody looking to review their current skillset or start fresh in the world of IT.

If you are looking to change to a career in IT or want to start one, I highly recommend this course. My Father works as a director of IT for an international Medical company and he was surprised by what they cover just in the first course. I got his stamp of approval for this and I couldn't be happier with what I've learned in this course.

Really enjoyed this course. Ideas were communicated concisely and effectively. I also enjoyed hearing about the background of the various narrators of the videos. Would have loved to have heard more about people who joined the IT workforce as a career switch, without prior experience or interest in tech. Overall, would definitely recommend

Great introduction to IT support. Has me excited to move to the next course. The instructors were great. Videos were well made and easy to understand. Test were easy to take and taking notes and saving videos or any documentation was a great feature that was also easy to use. Good experience for my first ever Coursera/Google online course.

This course was a great way to introduce novice and established people into the field of IT. I had a great time learning and the modules are very nicely laid out, it did have some hiccups but Coursera has a feedback system for that. I came away with learning new things as well as brushing up on old information. I'm glad i took this course.

One of the highlights of this course is its practical approach. Students are provided with real-world scenarios hands exercises, allowing them to apply the knowledge they have gained. This not only enhances their understanding of the subject matter but also prepares them for real-life situations they may encounter in their future careers.
