Great presentations and very detailed concepts presented in a straightforward and uncomplicated way. Presenters were clearly enthusiastic about IT and IT concepts and made it fun and make you feel like it is a possible career route for people switching careers.

Very good overview of networks. One thing I was expecting to understand slightly better would have been on how to setup a smart network. What should have been chosen for what purposes. How do multiple access points with the same name work. Else perfect training.

This Course is Awesome. even if it was quite tough to understand I got all fundamental knowledge behind how network works, how distant computer can communicate with each other, how a connection is established with key knowledge of the technology involved in it.

Being on the role of an IT Support/ Software staff for more than 6years in my current employment, handling most internet connection issues and yet this has brought more light to my world of IT.

Lots of new stuff from here is ready to roll into my daily operation

Great Course! Teaches you ALOT about the systems and protocols that make up the internet, which are usually abstracted from the view of an average internet user. The course does get a little wordy at times, but that's to be expected as there is alot to learn.

This course has changed my perspective about Internet. I have never imagined how many process and protocols are in play, just to send a single packet. To be very honest, I didn't even know data flows in the internet via packet. It was good to learn the basics.

This was great content. There were some irritating issues with assignments. I just spent the last two day redoing the work i did weeks ago. I hope the current submissions stick this time. I took screenshots of everything as I went along as proof of completion.

This certificate is new of its kind in that it presents a completely unique approach to introduce those who seek an IT career to the IT field and teaches you the content in a way that you don’t any prerequisites to be able to understand and grasp the content.

For me the whole course has been a wonderful experience, I have struggled a lot with most of the issues, because they are things that I had forgotten and that because of my current job they did not let me train. I am very excited to take the following course.

Good Course. You guys need to check the translated text though. It seems like you used some sort of dictation software because there are many instances where the words don't match up to the video. I'm sure it's super confusing for the deaf or hard of hearing.

Such a wonderful networking course, good enough to strengthen up your fundamentals... Now I have reasonable confidence to take up future related networking certifications, so that I can broaden up my skills, and hopefully join the IT industry anytime soon....

This is by far the hardest part of computing for me and I have taken multiple classes on networking and read countless articles and chapters on the subject, but this class helped visualize it better than I have been able to do with other classes or on my own.

The course is really good but some of the chapters are really hard to understand since there isn't much presentation. I personally feel that if the course like this would have more diagrams and a bit more of presentation it would be much easier to understand.

Very informative hands-on learning. I would definitely refer this course. There were challenging times when I thought I wouldn't be able to complete some of my work, but the forum was truly helpful, and the fact that I could log in anywhere was also helpful.

Quite intensive, instructive and impressive for someone like me who has no previous theoretical and technical background in networking. The foundation that you learn from this course is more than enough to catapult you to a higher level that you can imagine.

I would like for the videos to be able to pop out of the window, I personally do not like how the video screen widens as I scroll down the page, I would suggest a pop-out window option and an option to stream the videos to my TV. Thank you for the courses.

The bits and bytes of Networking has broaden my knowledge and understanding of networking and how devices communicate along the five layers of the network. I called it the PDNTA which stands for Physical, Data-link, Network,Transport and Application layers.

The bits and bytes of computer networking course is well condensed and gives a ton of hard revealing knowledge on computer networks. It is well presented in a fashion that is "approachable" by anyone. I have learned a great deal of knowledge. Thanks Google!

I never knew I could do it, guys! It was fun all the way. I have a bit of a challenge, I must say, in Week 2: the Routing, Subnetting, and in Week 6: IPv6 address space.

I am glad I took this course, it open my mind to a lot of information about IT Support!

Fue un excelente viaje de aprendizaje junto a mi nuevo amigo Víctor Escobedo y por supuesto mi agradecimiento a todos los que trabajaron para que este curso de redes fuese tan ameno y explicativo.

Muchas Gracias desde Buenos Aires y seguiré en este camino!!

Very interesting! It was as usual very complete everything was explained very clearly. As a non-English speaker, I appreciate the subtitles and the script under each video. I hope that the next course will be as interesting as this one! Thank you Google :)
