A fantastic tool to build fundamental knowledge. Real-world application and simulated environments provide unparalleled learning compared to other resources I have used. I would highly recommend this course and the entire Google IT Support Certification track.

This is one of the super course I ever did online. I love the way Coursera teaches things, it is not interesting and effective. And thanks Coursera for being online.

One day I'll work with Coursera and Google to make this world a better place with the help of IT.

This course is very informative, hands-on, and best of all, includes a quiz here and there along the way. The glossary is especially helpful as well. You either know and understand all the words on the glossary or you don't. If you don't, go back and review!

I really enjoyed this course. The self-pace approach fits my personality and learning style. So, as I went through some new and some review materials, I kept thinking "I got this!" So, now mission completed. I hope you have a great learning journey as well

The information learned in this course is basic fundamentals but also these fundamentals actually covers the basics of most Helpdesk requirements so I would say that for an entry level understanding of IT this is what every IT Helpdesk Technician should run to.

Absolutely great for breaking through the basics in a lot of areas. Keeps things relatively simple and is amazing for explaining concepts to even the most inexperienced person that want to take an interest in not only IT but computers and technology in general.

A very good foundation into the basics of IT. It is worth taking this course if you want to learn what IT Support is about. It covers not just computers and networking, but also soft skills required to work in a technical support role. Thoroughly recommend it.

This course is pretty straightforward, yet is also really informative. The supplemental reading is a great way to learn to teach yourself. The instructors simplify things in a way that makes the information easier to comprehend, and make you want to learn more.

I took this series of courses as a refresher before finally going back to work, and I'm surprised I was still able to pick up little nuggets of new information even though I am completely familiar with most of the stuff being taught. This really helps a lot! :)

After having already built a strong foundational knowledge in IT support from my previous work experience I felt that Google did a great job in re-instituting some of that knowledge with this course. I look forward to completing the other courses in this track.

This is a really great course. It is perfect for beginners, and those who are trying to expand their knowledge base. I knew a lot about computers going into this course and still learned many new things. I keep bugging my friends to sign up for this. Excellent.

I feel so empowered to use tech in an in-depth level. I feel a lot more confident in my skills and knowledge to attempt fixing tech. This is the first certificate I have earned since high school, it feels great to finally be able to put something else on my CV

Easy to understand. You have control to watch and replay the information you need to go over again. This was really helpful to someone like me who is out of touch for so long and getting back to familiarize back into the field along with all the developments.

Loved this course. As a 28 year old who thought he was pretty technically savvy, this course opened up my eyes to a lot more concepts and things I didn't know. My mind is glued for more knowledge concerning IT and i'm happy for the future as my skillset grows.

Very good set up of course I’m happy that correction was made when errors happen on the videos, needs to be just a tad bit more cell friendly but hey.. I ran the VM on my cell! how awesome! I loved this and it’s a good refresher if you have some IT background.

The course really gives an insight into all the different fields the IT specialist can get their hands into. Leaning about how the world wide web works, how computer communicates with one another, how to build and repair a computer, and how to write my resume.

Though the information in this course has been very useful it is very short and not super detailed. You get a decent knowledge understanding of how things work but it does not offer much in the way of actually learning how to fix/resolve any technical issues.
