Great course! Good start for any IT career. I love the fact that there are no pre-requisites required to enroll. Not even a high school diploma needed just your willingness to learn. Thank you Google!

Love the way this course flows and that the user can move at his or her own pace. Having successful Google employees with diverse backgrounds and varying education levels teach the course makes every section fresh.

I loved this material, I had somewhat of a background on all of these topics beforehand, but this really touched on fundamentals (as stated in the title). You'll really dive into the IT role with this initial course.

Well laid out and comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of IT support. Modules were clear, in short, easily digestible chunks. I look forward to more content with the same well-developed learning structure.

Great course... a lot of things i already learned in a general way but it's always nice to get knee deep in basic concepts to fully understand everything in the IT world, specially things we always take for granted.

Super well put together, favorite feature is ability to pause so I can take notes at my own speed so it'll stick for the long run, also giving me something I can confidently refer back on if I ever need a refresher.

A good intro course. I have a bit of background in IT and troubleshooting so it was more of a refresher. I'm excited to get into the deeper dives because it seems as though the instructors care and give good info.

Great Course. I would really prefer if the Instructors would delve into the instresting stuff, instead of "chec it out in the next supplemental reading"....gets old after a while.

Other than that - I am very pleased!

Very well put together! Easy to use and very easy to understand. It actually made me realize that I already knew some of the stuff presented here, but also some stuff that I need to focus a little bit more time on.
