I really enjoyed this course. Granted, not much was new to me, but it was a nice refresher as I'm getting back into the IT field. Very well put together with such eloquent and professional presenters. I liked the fact that I could adjust the rate and pace of the presentations. That was a great option. I'm ready to take on more. Great job putting this one together. It helped me a lot! Thank you.

This was an amazing experience to learn Technical support fundamentals with google through COURSERA. In this course everything was fine instructors are fine even all the assignments are higher level all the assignments or assesments are only for us to understand all the things carefully/better. I have no more words to rate this course because it is the course which I would rate to the infinite.

I thank all those who contributed to this work, as it made me move the level of my ambitions to a level that makes me ambitious and eager to combine experience with learning. I learned a lot but the ways of dealing with people were very helpful. As for my knowledge of new operating systems, it was wonderful. I will try to get the opportunity to receive more courses from Google. Thank you google

Broad overview of the inside workings of computers, the history of them, the internal software, and basics of customer service that will be required as an IT Support Specialist. I feel excited and eager to learn more after this first course. And it also has been personally reassuring that I am in the right field at the right time, while still able to learn at my pace while being a busy mother.

It had not been easy with the detailed course outline but it was really awesome to have a knowledge in the IT Technical Support. The lecturers and the lectures were all awesome. Google has made it simple for me to acquire the knowledge at no cost and it is going to help me do better and get higher to support others who need my service at my workplace. It is great to have undertaken the course.

This was very informative class. I use computers everyday of my life, but this was exceptional course of teaching the behind the scenes of computers. I really enjoyed the hardware section and learning how to actually build a computer. The only thing I think would have really enjoyed is a print out of vocabulary at the beginning. It is a whole new language and takes dedication to learn it.

Great stuff! I always encourage to join this type of courses because basics are the building blocks of success without basics even 90 feet building fells down also the content and the way they approached was simply awesome hoping more good stuff

"Grow with Google " always boosts me the quote they use simply helps others to show a kind of emotion that only a learner from google can understand

This is a great experience for me and its like watching one of my favorite movie but at the same time giving me an opportunity in the future to have a greater life. I loved this so much and won't regret a single second that I spent on here. It's really inspiring and you can learn a lot. I have a dream to become a part of google so I guess doing these courses will help me to achieve my dream.

I did enjoy the course overall. I believe the Computer Assembly part could be a little more robust. I would prefer more time would be taken to show how to assemble a PC, piece by piece. For instance, Exact specs on Power Supplies. I did enjoy the hand static remover that was shown. I have never used one of those before. So, it will be nice to try that someday soon! Thank You for this course.

The course is very well thought of. It's achieved its goal of making me familiar with how computers work and of technology as a whole. It even gave me lessons on how to deal with other people. Overall, I think that learners reading this should take this course. I believe it will really help you grow professionally- no matter what profession you are in- and personally as well. Happy learning!

Absolutely amazing work there, all of the course leaders were engaging and passionate about the work they were talking about which was really nice to see. The Information was explained well and simple to follow along with, Coursera's Website itself was also easy to navigate and remembering my spot every time I would take a break to refresh or to just come back to it later was really helpful!

it was a great introduction to the four courses that are subsequent to this in the Google IT Support Professional Certificate course. It explained at a high level what computer networking is in the world of IT, what operating systems will be covered, infrastructure for a company and an introduction to cyber security concepts. It explains why these are important for an IT specialist to know.

I really appreciate what this course has given to me as i was able to use the troubleshooting technique to avoid having a reinstallation of my operating system recently to correct an error in the use of the laptop's cam. i believe there is more to do in this field and i need to get in there and complete the rest having a sturdy look at the networking aspect which i did have some challenges

I really like how Coursera organize the way of learning. I took other online courses and someone were just a COPY PASTE from books or another edition. They take their time to Video editing an Special course for Entry level technicians that I will recommend to everyone that wan to get involve to IT. Also I think the course put me on track of self training. I'm totally taking another course.

This is a great course for a beginner like myself who uses computers but don't have the fundamental knowledge of how they work. This is exactly what I was looking for to get my feet wet to start my career shift into tech. This is a great course to build upon. I would recommend this to anyone interested in getting into tech and wanting to learn how the machines we use interact and operate.

I enjoyed the this course and how learning the Fundamentals of IT support. The pace and the instructions were easy to follow. There was on techinical issue that was resolved with a collective of students mentioning the error. The quiz pace is reasonable and the lab time is also reasonable complete. overall it was a very help and refresher course to take if you have IT background or not.

I love the interaction with the instructions and the online labs as well. I feel confident that i can complete this training, and finally get my IT certificate.

The course was short and to the point. All of the people in the videos were articulate and knowledgeable. I feel like I learned relevant information that will actually help me in the IT career field. I'm so excited that this course was created by Google and that I will now have a certification that I can show to potential employers. I will definitely be taking more of the courses by them.

This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about the current version, especially since the last version I used was several releases ago.

This by far the best bootcamp to learning new skills, while giving in-depth analyzes of each topic, breakdown the fundamentals, and allowing the hands-on approach with their labs to have the students.engaged. Its ALOT of information to consume but after time of reading, learning and memorizing the keys. You will leave this program with the knowledge and skills necessary to land that job.

I now know everything about computer components and how each piece works, and the purpose of it is that I can easily c hange any piece and install it. I hope totrain more practically on different types of problems and to discover and solve them to increase my skills. I hope to take the next training course in IT support specialist certification

Thank you Google and Coracera for everything
