Very comprehensive and much better practice platform, but still you need to be self learner, because all of the required material is not discussed here, try to research and find supported material around the internet and other sources.

Great course! 100% recommended! Loved the instructors, the videos, glossaries, questions and quizzes. The virtual machines challenges were too easy, but I still enjoyed them as it is the first time I used the Qwiklabs tools. Thanks! <3

Excellent course for beginners. The only thing is don't believe that they will give you job. I already passed the exam and got Professional Certificate but not job. Take this course only if you want learn don't take it if want to earn.

Excellent primer on what's involved to enter the IT field. I'm much more knowledgeable & functional with my home computer systems already, and I'm excited to move on to the next course. Occasionally cheesy, but I enjoy it all the same.

very informative, breaks down what most consider a difficult task into small pieces in order to comprehend it more. Definitely learning a lot, as well this course is answering most of my questions which I've made in my past internship.

This is a great crash course intro to IT Support. A lot of the content was familiar to me, but I learned a lot of useful things in the module on troubleshooting and customer service. I'm already applying those lessons to my daily work!

Overall, these were good courses that taught me the fundamentals of being a Tech Support.

My only complaint was that there was a quiz in week 6 that asked a question about documentation, even thought the topic had not yet been covered.

Liked the short and easy-to-understand presentations, supplemental reading, and links to external recourses. Some info was outdated. Unfortunately, I ran into some issues/glitches, which could have been on my end. Still liked it much.

Very good course for introducing the basic fundamentals of Information Technology. Even without any prior experience or knowledge about computers you will be able to follow , learn and acquire some new skills without much difficulty.

wide range of fundamental knowledge even for someone who worked with tech his entire life, but putting the correct termanology and fact sheets really cleared up some things i thought may have been different from what they really were.
