This was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.

This course was amazing and helped me understand so much more about networking, things I never thought I would know or understand. Very fulfilling and I can't wait to use this knowledge going forward.

Networking is a lot more than just connecting to a wireless signal. This course you will dig into all the aspects of networking. Pay close attention to the sub netting and IP. And try to wrap your head around IPv6.

This course did a great job and explaining the concepts and the practice quizzes made all the difference for the final exam as well. Not to mention help you understand where your weaknesses about the concepts are.

Although obviously many of the topics were not coverd in extensive detail, what is really good to know is precisely what Google, the most significant entity on the web, thinks one needs to know for a career in IT.

I loved this great course. It is great for beginners and for people that may have forgotten a thing or two. The way it was taught makes it so much better than reading man pages or something else as dry and boring.

The Course was great, Victor Escobedo was special, even in the dull moments he made the course come alive. You might feel you don't understand, just go back, he explains everything in great detail. Thanks Google.

Fantastic experience. I needed a quick intro to networking and after several unsuccessful attempts I found your course. I loved it! It concisely presented the relevant information in a very structure's manner.

Had a lot of content and although not difficult it was a lot to absorb for one course. Over all the course was great, but it would've be nice to see different instructors instead of the same person all the time.

Bite-sized, very well explained videos. Learned a lot. Just a piece of advice: don't get caught up in some minor bugs, typos, or logical mistakes the team made along the way. ;) The content is still pretty good!

A challenging course due to the amount of information presented but very informative.

It is probably best to break the learning up into small amounts every day and not try to do an entire lesson in one sitting.

Very well structured course. All the topics have been arranged in a way that makes it easy to understand how the technologies work with one another.

The instructor also made it fun to stick around for the course.

So much information is packed into this course it absolutely blows my mind. Seriously, I feel like I just got out of some semester-long Networking basics course. Also, I think my brain needs a brief rest now...

This was an awesome intro to beginner course in networking that is way easier to digest than some of the vendor programs about networking. CISCO could take a page from you guys on how to present their material.

Definitely worth it for foundations! I love how it allows unlimited attempts through the tests because through the failure it provides understanding. I'd recommend it to anybody trying to understand the field.
