I enjoyed this introductory course. It was a prelude and basis for a lot of fundamentals in IT. Coming from some knowledge in IT it was great to get a refresher on these topics and begin the practicing of the fundamentals again. It is suited for beginners and does a nice job in keeping you motivated to continue and to learn more if you truly have a passion for IT. Highly recommend.

Great course, the way this video learning was setup and produced made it easy to follow what the instructors were talking about. The instructors themselves were very personable and knew how to get the information across in a way that was easy to understand. I love the ability to go back and rewatch or re read information from earlier modules.. I'm looking forward to the next module

The information was truly a basic introduction to technical support fundamentals. It is always good to review, refresh and reflect on objectives before starting a new assignment or task. The different perspectives on technical support was helpful and inclusive of the different opportunities. I would like to take a moment to thank the team at Google and contributors for program.

Really good course. It was all refresher for me but I liked that the course tied together and reminded me of all I have learned over the years and in some of my time in college. I do not have a degree and for financial reasons am not able to go back to college for the foreseeable future. This course. and the IT Professional Certification Program as a whole is very valuable to me.

Very well designed course. I already knew a lot of it, but I feel that it was presented in a way that I wanted to listen even to the things I already understood, and in a few instances I ended up learning that I didn't understand as much as I thought. I really appreciated the opportunity and the challenges, I definitely feel more confident about the idea of Technical Support now.

This course is the very beginning of the IT Support journey. I was introduced to the instructors that taught the rest of the specialization and learned about each part of what an IT Support Specialist will do. The modules are informative and concise. They provide an overview of everything that you'll learn throughout the duration of the Google IT Support Professional Certificate.

I thank Google for giving me this opportunity in order to obtain this knowledge. I also thank all the professors who were at the level in terms of knowledge, education and study. Simply can be described in one word. One is that it's a great trip

I really appreciate how little this course assumes about its participants and how much they show that people from diverse backgrounds can get into this field. It is incredibly encouraging to find something like this that has depth without having to spend the amount of time and money required to get a full-on degree for those of us who are in a position where that isn't feasible.

I've worked and studied in IT and can say this course does cover the fundamentals for supporting in IT. I would recommend this course as a good start / eye opener to the world of IT support and to get your foot in. As for someone who is in this world, it is a good refresher course and had elements that I did that play around with before as well so I learned a little bit as well.

This first of five course has been one of the best refreshers for the IT Field for me. I have knowledge of the field and am knowledgeable of how it works, but this course was a great review and update on things that I didn't know had changed and grow. I am excited to get through the next four courses and have the certification to really see what the Technical Field has to offer.

Throughout my career I knew I had gaps in my understanding of computers and software and this always made me feel like I was missing something. This course did so much to fill those in those gaps, and did it in a clear and concise manner. Taking this course made me feel good about myself for FINALLY learning this! Thank you so much! And thank you to your excellent instructors!

Great course for someone who is interested in IT or technology in general. Also a great refresher course for someone who is already with the IT job like myself. I do not have an IT background as an education but being an IT Support ore than 10 years. The course has helped me understand some of the fundamentals that I did not know. There was great 'aha!' moments throughout!

While I took this course as knowing very little about computers, I didn't realize I knew more about IT than I thought. I think this course is very well put together to teach beginners about IT and computers. I specifically learned more about binaries and what happens "under the hood". It was an enjoyable experience and I can't wait to expand my knowledge into the IT industry.

I think this was a great Overview and beginning to learning about these topics. I liked how there were videos and also text available to read, but that they required active listening, otherwise you wouldn't understand something and you had to watch the videos to complete a section, even if you felt like you knew it. I learned a few things I was not aware of in a few sections.

It was a pleasure to go through this Technical Support Fundamentals Course. All the presenters were very enthusiastic about their job and about IT. They explained everything so that even a non-native speaker could understand it properly. However I am not a technical person, I liked to see what's inside the machine, and how layers are added up. Thank you for all your effort!

All of the instructors were very straightforward in a humanly way. I do not know if they were trained as instructors, but I, currently studying in Education field, definitely acknowledge their teaching skills. Their tones, word choices and gestures were very positive. Course syllabus was also well designed. At no point have i felt overwhelmed or bored. Great course overall!
