Ever wanted to know how a computer works? This course gives you the basics to understand how. The modules are simple enough to understand for beginners, but even if you're aware of the basic structure or parts of a computer (software, hardware, RAM, etc.) your knowledge can be embellished with new details to deepen your understanding.

Introductory course on the world of IT. Well worth looking into if you are interested in pursuing IT. Easy to follow instructions. Loved how I had the ability to redo quizzes if I didn't pass. For the more complex exams, video footage was added therefore made exams on qwikilabs easier. Very short videos that don't take long to follow.

I was struggling in the first few lessons and tended to quit. However, thanks to the instructors sharing about their backgrounds, their goals, their sense of humor in-between the knowledge, I was motivated and kept picking of the lessons.

I am glad that I could finish Course 1. Can't wait what they have to offer in the future courses.

I already have a bachelors degree in IT so this course was relatively easy for me but looking at a newcomer's standpoint it is a very good course just at the right difficulty for beginners. Everything is clear and to the point. There is no extra stuff thrown in there to mess with you like you may find at a proper university lecture.

Excelente curso, aprendí bastante sobre los conceptos más importantes que rigen al mundo del soporte técnico de IT. Las lecciones aprendidas me van a permitir ser mejor en el campo del soporte técnico y me han ayudado a mejorar en mi trabajo actual. Es un curso que yo recomiendo a las personas que se desenvuelven en el campo de IT.

I loved every moment of this course. I really enjoyed how the instructors were thorough with the information given. The only thing I would change is during the videos, when the instructor says something wrong and the bubble pops up to correct the mistake, just have the instructor "act" out that part again. It is kind of distracting.

My love for computers has always been a driving force for the things I do. Combine that with my job as a mix engineer and recording engineer, you get a enjoyment of all the techy stuff with the human interactions. I loved every bit of this and I am going for more. Thanks for bringing it Coursera, and thanks Google for providing it.

This course is geared towards beginners in the industry. 4.5 stars for a solid introduction to several relevant topics. If you are looking at this from the perspective of someone with intermediate (or higher) experience looking for a refresher, portions of this course will likely be a bit too easy (4 stars from that perspective).

I thought this course was very informative. Moreso than some of the videos I watch while pursuing my degree at SNHU. I didn't get that "im confused" feeling, and if I did, it was very quickly resolved with the next video or later in the video.

I'm looking forward to the next one in line to becoming a Google IT Support Specialist

This coures gives you an overview of what IT is and what your role will be. It helps you to understand all the different avenues in IT. The videos were helpful along with the notes. My only negative is that on some of the quizes a wrong answer didnt always tell you the correct answer. I am looking forward to moving on to course 2.

As someone who has been doing tech support for a while, I really appreciate the scenarios. As silly as they may seem, they are exactly things I have experienced before. This is especially for the one where the customer wanted to hear from the male tech instead of believing the woman tech. This helped solidify these courses for me.
