Great introductory course to IT, I especially enjoyed the hands on activities. It'd be nice to see some of the lengthy Wikipedia articles replaces with more hands on information, videos, or articles that explain the information in a more interesting way.

Very easy to complete, just some issues with the external tool. Coursera will hopefully be able to fix mine as I have completed all of them but they won't update. Overall good course, talks about workplace situations and not just the tech side of things.

As the title of this particular course says, it is fundamentals. Having been in technical support for a while now, this provides the basics that all technical support staff should have. The Technical Support Fundamentals course is a great building block!

Some of the labs are a tad bit testy but attempting them on different internet browsers fixed the problems for me every time. Concepts are easy to understand and are explained very well. The supplemental readings can be extremely helpful and informative.

Overall quite a nice little cert, please note though that one of the quizes in week 6 has questions that appear too early, as in, it asks questions that hadn't been covered up to that point, but they were covered a little after in the learning material.

Very good entry level information. Some of the time allotment felt a bit rushed. I had been under the understanding it was going to be more of complete at my own pace. Once I realized this I just pushed myself to get it completed as quickly as possible.

Wow, even as a person who was exposed to computers at a single-digit age, this answered so many questions and clarified so many things that I never even knew I was missing. I'm genuinely excited to keep pushing through the full course. Full steam ahead.
