If you are coming from an IT background you will find the course too basic, but would be good to brush up your skills and existing knowledge.

If your background is different from IT this course covers everything you need for a starter, will be a pleasant learning trip for you. I highly recommend it

I have become aware of how a computer works and the fundamentals of how it works. I like how a single busy mother such as myself can broaden her learning in a field where there are not any in person contact during a pandemic. I appreciate this program and for the Opportunity Goodwill has given me.

Very informative, they also take it slow enough for beginners. I definitely recommend doing some extra research on your own time, but just to pass this course you really only need the content and supplemental reading they provide. It is nice to dive deeper to get a better understanding, however.

Course is great! Instructions and assignments are explained in great detail, & it will teach you the basics in no time allowing you to feel like a pro. You will learn a lot, & it is a commitment but its definitely worth it especially for anyone looking for a refresher or to learn the basics of IT.

This is a great introduction to the world of IT. It covers all the basics in short digestable lessons. It also gives learners sufficient practice through quizzes, graded assessments and external tools. Another great thing is that it encourages learners to constantly read and seek more knowledge.

I really liked how course is structured. Saturation made it easy to get involved and understand what is the topic about.

Only thing, please check supplement materials which you provide in course. There are some sources which fall back to 2015 or 2018. Assume you may add much more relevant sources.

A great course to learn and remember the fundamentals about Systems, Computer Architecture and more. The part that I really learn was about the customer service that thing is very important, we need sometimes to remember that we work to serve for others and we need to remember that we are humans.

Easy to follow, clear, and instructive! Initially, I thought that the format of short videos wouldn't fit my learning style but I quickly got engaged to it. Definitely, this course is a very good introduction to some important core concepts and keeps you willing to follow up on the next courses.

overall very good. I would have added a vocabulary section to each section before they started talking as it was a little distracting to try to learn that and stay focused on what they were saying. Like still keep the definitions in there, but add another part that is literally just definitions.
