You will also hear from experts in the IT industry about getting started in the field and how you can pursue this career without prior experience or degrees. You'll also learn some basics about the technology that technical support professionals use. You will hear from industry insiders about how you can develop a customer support mindset and how to talk with customers and solve their problems.

I felt this course was very well organized and was a great introduction to tech support. I will be continuing with the next courses for the IBM Technical Support Professional Certificate.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. I am glad there was a simulator included in this course to get a hands-on feel for a ticketing system used by many in the IT industry. Thank you!

It was a great course, however I dont appreciate Coursera using my certificate to advertise. No, its not 2-4 hours a week at 4 weeks. Its 3 times that many hours on a good day, let a one a bad one, and this course was 5 weeks. If you're going to add things like that, at least be honest and put how many hours I actually spent working in this class. Im not an ad, Ive paid to be here already. Show some class.

Great video content, but some of the questions and answers seemed to be worded in ways I am not familiar with. There were a couple gramar and spelling errors as well, but overall the curriculum was delivered and received well.

I really did enjoy this course. Lots of information given and to take in. My only concern wias during the lab portion. Trying to follow along visually with the video was hard, as the was going a bit fast to follow along.

Good course for beginners, however, it lacks visual presentations. Many people learn and remember pictures, it would be even better if you had incorporated visual presentations.

Thanks for the efforts.

The ServiceNow Project had a problem that I couldn't get resolved because their Helpdesk and Chat system are terrible. Other then that the course was very good.

Everything was easy to grasp and understand, and much of the stuff learned corresponded with the work I do currently, so it made my job so much easier to do.
