It was a good beginner course. I felt like I knew 70% of the course material, when going through it. It did provide some clarification and some cohesion to some of the different areas that I was not familiar with. I do like the short videos as well as the reoccurring quizzes.

I learned quite a bit, and definitely a good start.

This course has a smooth flow and materials are delivered in bite size. Easy to study and work thru the course at my own pace. For someone with nearly zero experience in tech support, I truly learnt a lot and gain new insights about the world of IT. I actually wished I took this up 3 years ago but well, better late than never.

Very enjoyable and informative. I'm very grateful that Google is putting in such a huge effort to get people trained up in this field. It's evident that more IT specialists are needed around the world and it's fantastic that Google is answering that call by getting people trained up and breaking down barriers at the same time.

As someone who works with sick and angry customers on a daily basis I forget sometimes that other people have not been in those same situations and can use a good primer on what to expect. thank you Google and keep up the good work

Never had any IT background other than using a computer and phone. I never knew the deep down information that makes everything run. Never knew how easy it was to actually build your own computer as long as you have compatible items with one another. If i can take this course sucessfully i think a lot of other people can too.

This course served to renew my interest and excitement into the world of IT. Even though I work with computers, I have not built one for years. This course has piqued my interest and love of IT more than I thought. It has made me realise how much I love to learn and help solve issues relating to anything and everything IT.

I really enjoyed this course. For me, it was a review of things I already knew, but I also learned a few new things. I really appreciated the Troubleshooting and Customer Service modules. It was nice to see that the things I already do are the appropriate things to do when giving IT Support and interacting with end users.

I learned a lot in this course, although it was a little difficult, but I saw that it is part of five parts and I am very interested in delving into and learning from this course to the end because of its importance and the library benefit as a specialist in information technology as it offers an extraordinary level.

Thank you

This course has been an excellent way to set the foundation for learning about computers and how they're connected. It felt like we went at a good speed, and all the information was presented and explained in a manner where assumptions weren't made about prior knowledge. Looking forward to the next classes in the certificate.

Really good start, and I for one LOVE the fact that you guys put corrections in the video as opposed to just reshooting or editing those mistakes out. Increases comfort level of the student by showing not everyone is perfect, and it also points out those errors and makes the student pay attention to that particular point more

Great course to get your feet with Technical Support Fundamentals. Honestly, the information here is enough for the average lay person. But I want to be more than a lay person. I want to have the knowledge to be a IT support specialist. This is what motivates me to complete the rest of the courses in this certificate program.

In this course, I benefited a lot from the basics in the field of technical support, from the beginning of what consists of computer parts, bits, bytes, networks, troubleshooting and fixing errors, an overview of the Linux system, how programs are installed and deleted in it, and more information in the world of technology .

A great review and introduction into the IT world. It was surprising how much of this I had learned over years of just messing with computers. It's great to truly have a foundation and understanding of how the IT/computer based world operates. I am excited to use this as a stepping stone to advance myself into the IT sector.
