Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Mostly great! Some holes in basic knowledge, usually terminology, that can be difficult to fill in sometimes but I've learned heaps!

Great Course; If you're looking to go into IT, I urge you to start with the Google IT support professional certificate course.

Es simplemente didáctico, en todo el sentido de la palabra. Puedes asimilar conceptos, totalmente desconocidos, en muy poco tiempo.

I feel the computer knowledge in IT Professional Certificate is much deeper than a BSc in CS/IT. (exclude database and programming)
