I felt this was a really good starter course for someone seeking to get an entry level technical support role. Even though I am a well seasoned professional in IT. I still felt there was a lot of value to the material, both as review for me, and as a starting point for anyone who wants an exciting career in IT.

I am not a technological person. There parts of this course that were very challenging. But i learned a lot. For some people with a lot of experience this course might feel to entry level. For people like me , it was a world full of information I didnt know and i am so glad i have this knowledge now. Thank you

This course really gave me a huge insight in all the areas of this course. Especially, I now have full understanding of how the CPU works, the operating system, bits and bytes, IP/ICP, user management, and many more. It's was a very good starting stage.

I enjoyed the course as a whole. Some of the stuff was a bit off; it was a bit rough having the pop-ups at poor times and then if they pop up it forced you to scroll all the way back down to where you were in the text but that wouldn't be so bad had I not been on a laptop without a peripheral mouse and keyboard.

This course for a new user is very good, but for someone who has some knowledge in this field already, there should be a faster version available. This would serve as a good fast refresher for those people without having to spend as much time going through the content since it's being explained in a slower pace.

I took a leap of faith enrolling in this course as I did not know what to expect. I was so nervous as IT is completely foreign to me and I thought I would never be capable of learning or doing such a thing. I now have a new passion and I loved every part of this course, and I am excited to continue my learning.

This initial Fundamentals Course was well organized and very interesting. It covered a lot of subject matter at a cursory level and is a good preparation for the more detailed studies ahead. I'm excited to work my way through the remainder of the Courses and perhaps engage in some programming studies as well.

This course is interesting and fun. I learnt about many aspects of IT and IT support, and I believe this is a very useful course to complete. A lot of the content covered in the course is useful for not only people looking to work within IT support, but also people who generally use a computer on a daily basis.

This was a great course to take, it was just what I was looking for to help start a new career. Excellent material and presentations, and the ability to work at your pace with no "pressure" was very beneficial to me and my learning habits.

I've really enjoyed the course and learned a few things from it, however I'm wondering why I have to give personal information to get my certificate to show I have finished the course. I should not have to post my ID information for this. I do not like posting my personal information like this on the internet.

I came into this class with no knowledge of Tech Support in any way. There was lots of information that confused me and I never had anyone sit down and explain it. This course has opened my eyes to how far we have come technology wise. There were a few spots that confused me, but I made it through. Thanks.

Fun class, it hits key points in the fundamentals in Technical Support. Great for those attempting to get into the field. The labs are a great hands on tool. I definitely recommend this course to someone looking to get into the field, or for those already in the field looking for a refresher in fundamental IT.

This is an excellent introductory survey course. I would not go into it expecting any advanced concepts or mental gymnastics. Really, it's purpose is to teach the basic ideas and vocabulary involved in IT. As such it succeeds quite nicely and (for me, at least) gives an idea of the main areas that IT covers.
