Loved it! There was a LOT of information that was broken down into friendly, no pressure lectures and assignments. I appreciated the pop quizzes that were built into most of the videos. A big thank you to all that were involved in putting this series together!

This was a very informative course. I particularly appreciate the conciseness of the videos and readings. It's also simple enough for any leaner to understand regardless of background. I would recommend this course to folks looking to get into IT or up-skill.

All of the instructors and guests were great. While they were all reading off a teleprompter, they were easy to understand and made learning interesting. Technical ideas were presented simply and easily and the quizzes helped reinforce what was being learned.

This program is great. It was a refresher but I also learned how to build a computer. Now I can build my own. I would definitely recommend this program to anybody looking to get into IT. I actually did recommend someone. The people at Merit America are great.

The Technical Support Fundamentals introduced many IT concepts in a well manner. Google's class provided a variety of places to grasp the information, including tests and quizzes to test newly learned information via Coursera. I definitely enjoyed the course.

Everything in this course was new and exciting to me. I love the short and concise videos. I especially like the "not so good" and "good" scenario videos. I can believe those two were not professional actors and they were terrific. I hope to see more of them.

It's a lot of information in such a short time but it's so informative, interesting and worth it. I have learned how to use software that I've never heard of before and a lot of this was a refresher of what I learned by just playing around with the computer.

good coures for IT SOPPORT ProfessionaL don’t need a degree or professional certificates because you’ve got experience and a long line of successful on-time and under-budget project completions, and they’re better than any degree or professional certificate.

It's very basic. The Python course is a bit more robust and would recommend that if you have some IT knowledge. If not, this course is very good at explaining the fundamentals. I would recommend it to someone who has 0 knowledge about computers and networks.
