There are so many takeaways from this journey.It stretches from course module presentation and the instructors.

The real-life examples and the demonstrations made the journey truly an effective one.

I am eagerly looking forward to join the next course in the IT Support Professional Certificate :

Bits & bytes of computer networking.

Thank You.

The material is very nicely prepared, very accessible, very interesting and relevant. I personally have my trouble with the guy explaining the hardware, because it seems he wants to say 10 different things at once, but it is still ok.

Overall, the course gives me the feeling of being prepared, if I want to work in IT support in the future.

This course lays a good foundation of the basics and it does so in a friendly environment with several tools and labs that allow you to really experience hands-on use of the knowledge you've been given.

This is the first online course that I've taken that actually gives you practical, hands-on experience from your own computer. Well done!

This is one of the best introductory course on IT support as it took me through the nitty-gritty of layers and architecture of computers, the types of hardware; the different components of hardware, OS, Software networking, and everything relating to IT. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to build a career in IT support.

This course was great for a beginner such as myself. I have no IT background.. my background is in business. Taking this course helped me realize that the field of IT is full of very different areas to specialize in.. I am not sure what speaks to me yet, but I look forward to learning more and getting my first entry level IT position.

Very helpful. Whether you are new to IT or needs to refresh your IT Support skills, this is a great course for you. The course facilitators are very good with the material, the learning platform is cutting-edge. Nothing is actually should be a problem why you would not consider create some good time for this course. I'll say "Go for it!"

I absolutely love how detailed but simple this course was to understand and in turn complete with little to no issues. Initially the way that the labs were saved and graded was a bit odd for me and even though I did finish my first labs on time they were not saved and graded. I had to come back and re-do them after the due date had past.

This is an excellent course. I get to learn a lot of new things. Since this is the overview course, everything is a bit easy. I think in deep dive course it'll be much more difficult. I spend 2 hours per day and took extensive note so that it'll help me in future. The course material were up to date and instructions were clearly defined.

Excellent course for beginners who are interested in learning about the computers world, even for those who have already an experience with PC's will find this course very satisfying.

Simple,short and effective explanations are given through the course from a team of experimented people, that's why i do recommend this course for everyone.

While I do have a background in IT since High School, I wanted to prove to myself and challenge myself to see what I knew. This course was amazing because of the refresher and the new information it showed me as well as the challenges it placed to test me. I always wanted to get back into the IT world and with this, I can finally start!

This was a nice, well-rounded introductory course to the world of technical support. The content remained interesting and even when I ended up being offline for a full week due to an illness, it was super easy to get right back on pace and finish early. I am looking forward to continue to quench my thirst for knowledge through Coursera.

This was my first course at Coursera, even the first online course and it was best experience learning from Googlers, I never knew much about the stuff they taught me in this course. Thanks to Google, all the instructors and Coursera. I have also enrolled in other courses of this Program and hope to complete all these. Thanks one again!

This is an excellent introduction to IT. The information is geared toward beginners, is well-organized, and presented professionally. The virtual-machine labs provide great hands-on experience, even with a few start-up bugs. The included discussion forums are a good way to get additional insight on the labs and lectures from your peers.

Very good for a first-time learner and keep that information coming. I think my only crtique would be to make sure that for those who are not so tech-savvy, be sure to continue to break down certain terms and vocabulary as to not confuse, or bore. Aside from that, this was a great intro course and I cannot wait to continue. Thank you.

I really appreciate this course having the Mock Interview at the end of the course to provide future tech applicants an idea of what to expect from an interview. I am particularly not the best at interviews but that simple video provided me with a lot of information and I hope I can put it to good use when the time comes! Great course.

Excellently written and produced. Suitable for practically anyone, maybe even kids with the desire to learn. It gives a brief history to set some context and then goes into detail in the right pace to keep you engaged. I'm fairly tech-savvy myself and yet there were still some interesting bits I learned from this course.

Cool stuff!

Honestly, Coursera is the best platform for learning new skills. However, I gained confidence after taking some specialization courses. In addition, I truly appreciate all the great instructors for amazing skill sharing. Hence, I am applying all the skills and knowledge in my practical day-to-day life which I have learned in Coursera.

First of all, thanks for the opportunity and to the armed platform to improve our knowledge and understanding of our branch of work.

This is a different point of view of how we see our day to day and more than that, it will prepare us for the future.

What I enjoyed the most were the labs and the practices, very dynamic and entertaining.

I recommend this course to all the persons who plan to start career in IT. The course is rich in its contents. Course is conducted by Google IT experts. Just go for it.

This course provides a solid foundation for technology and IT skills. It begins with rudimentary explanations of computer anatomy and proceeds through basic elements of computing, hardware, networking, software development and maintenance. This course will teach you important fundamental elements necessary to any career in technology.

Ever wanted to know how a computer works? This course gives you the basics to understand how. The modules are simple enough to understand for beginners, but even if you're aware of the basic structure or parts of a computer (software, hardware, RAM, etc.) your knowledge can be embellished with new details to deepen your understanding.

Introductory course on the world of IT. Well worth looking into if you are interested in pursuing IT. Easy to follow instructions. Loved how I had the ability to redo quizzes if I didn't pass. For the more complex exams, video footage was added therefore made exams on qwikilabs easier. Very short videos that don't take long to follow.

I would like to thank Courser and Google for this wonderful opportunity! I loved the knowledge, content and the way it had been explained by the instructors. Even though i had some idea about the computers, this course has reinforced and strengthened my knowledge and confidence to the same! I would love to get more courses like these!

The IT Support Specialist course provided comprehensive training on troubleshooting, customer service, and IT fundamentals. It equipped me with practical skills in resolving technical issues and communicating effectively with users. The structured modules and hands-on labs were invaluable in preparing for real-world IT support roles.
