It's a lot of information in such a short time but it's so informative, interesting and worth it. I have learned how to use software that I've never heard of before and a lot of this was a refresher of what I learned by just playing around with the computer.

This is such a great beginning for any IT path that someone decide to follow.

The course was very well explained and structured, the trainers were very well spoken and coherent.

It was the best refresher for my previous knowledge and I also leraned new topics.

good coures for IT SOPPORT ProfessionaL don’t need a degree or professional certificates because you’ve got experience and a long line of successful on-time and under-budget project completions, and they’re better than any degree or professional certificate.

Very educative and impactful. Now I have confidence that I can dwell more into the world of IT. As a graduate of chemistry, completing this short course is an encouragement to go write networking certification that have been preparing for. Thank you google.

It's very basic. The Python course is a bit more robust and would recommend that if you have some IT knowledge. If not, this course is very good at explaining the fundamentals. I would recommend it to someone who has 0 knowledge about computers and networks.

This is a very basic course. It discusses the fundamentals of technical support and is meant to be a good starting point for beginners in IT. There are some mistakes in the vidoeo, but a pop-up will appear to pause the video and address/correct the mistakes.

I have previous knowledge on alot of the topics covered within this course but there were also hidden gems within the course that filled the gaps on some of the stuff i was missing. I also felt like it definitely explained the topics in a simplified manner.

I found out things that I knew but helped hone them. It gave me useful tools for every day life in addition to IT Support. Finally, I enjoy learning and it's ok that you don't have all the answers but exploring is fun and there's help out there just waiting.

This course is very well put together. It's amazing that you can cover this massive amount of information in only 6 weeks. This course manages to take the key concepts and introduce them in ways that keep you engaged no matter what style of learner you are.

Even if you're not looking for a career in IT, this course is valuable in so many ways to align your awareness and understanding of technology and our world today. I feel more able as an older member of society - all of it's not going over my head anymore!

A course of this level can only give the maximum grade. Very good, simple language, but profound in each lesson. I recommend it to everyone who is already without IT support and those who are entering the career. You are to be congratulated for this course.

I think the format is great. the videos and the tests and allowing us to go back and watch again. Also the supplemental reading was nice- but I would have figured out to look at Wikipedia so I am surprised some other sources were not recommended. Thank you!

I absolutely enjoyed this course. It taught me a lot about IT and customer support. I cannot wait to use my skills in troubleshooting, customer service, and just learning from my peers as well. I look forward to continuing and finishing this IT certificate.

If you're alreaady interested in tech then most of this stuff is a breeze. But it offers alot of great information for people who are just looking to get into computers and tech. This is a good introductory course but may not be of great use for everyone.

I think this was a great introductory course to IT support, it started off slow and was interconnected and it helped me build my confidence that I was able to understand some of the basics. Now that I have these under my belt, I cannot wait to continue on!

This is an amazing course offered by google, with knowledgable and entertaining models. As someone who is new to technology, at some points I did get a little intimidated by the content. But trust once you start getting it, it all begins to click together!
