Great course!!! Definitely what helped me master the topics in this course were the quizzes and the hands on labs. Great feature in this course. I look forward to keep learning more and reinforcing concepts that I already have knowledge on.

After having been disillusioned with the IT field after dropping out of DeVry (please don't laugh), it's nice to have the drive back and a much more affordable course to take which will prepare me to step into this field with my head held high.

An excellent course for anyone who is interested in a career in IT. This is perfect for people who have never had any IT training and is also a great refresher for anyone who has had some training and wants to sharpen their skills or knowledge.

As a beginner in IT I found this course to be laid out well and easy to follow. Just make sure that the grades assignments are done on Windows, Chromebook will not work. You can use Chromebook to view all the videos and take test and quizzes.

The course was very informative and engaging. I liked the logical progression from module to module. I highly recommend this course, although it keeps you wanting more, as five courses complete the training. I have only taken the first course.

This course was TREMENDOUSLY helpful in solidifying my foundational knowledge of IT concepts. The way things were broken down and explained seemed a little daunting at first, but honestly it was all very straightforward and easy to understand.

The Fundamentals course was excellent. The videos are short enough not to cause a laps in attention, but contain a lot of important information. The hands on labs are perfect. They are not just a simulation, they are real world environments.

I found that this course presented the basics in a way most people could easily understand. Some of the labs with the virtual spaces could be tough for someone with no experience. That being said I had no problem troubleshooting issues myself.
