This course provided a really solid foundation on computing basics. In fact, it was a good enough foundation that after taking it, I was able to get a job in IT (starting with very little background knowledge). I'm excited about my new career and especially excited about what I'll learn in future courses.

Excellent delivery of the course material. Whoever makes the course material should investigate the facts of certain material but glad to see it was corrected in text. I know this isn't the instructor's fault but if you're going to make top quality courses, make sure the information is solid. Thanks.

I am impressed on how I can take the class on my time. I have been really busy the past few weeks but I am able to do it when I get time. I am now back on track and plan on working them straight through. I know that when I am done with this course, I will take another to further my knowledge in this area.

The course is very comprehensive, so far. My only complaint is that some of the assessments in the virtual computer environment do not work as well as they should. I have to take an assessment at least 3-4 times before it was registered as complete. That needs to be tweaked as it may have some bugs in it.

Very good course. It set's a very strong foundation into knowing about the basics of Information Technology. The way the course was structured made the content very easy to learn. The main thing that stood out for me was the random engaging questions that popped up during video lessons. Great Work Team!

Great introduction course for someone who was not feeling too confident about their lack of knowledge and experience in this field. I am hungry for education and curious of the limitless boundaries I have just been exposed to. Thank you and I can't wait to discover what new lessons and knowledge await.

This course is great specially for those who want to enter in the world of IT. Each topic is very in depth and all the practice quizes and graded examination with quiklab is a great tool to enhance your learning experience. This is my first time taking up a online education platform, and I am very happy.

Before taking this course, I really had no knowledge of how anything in acomputer worked. Now that I have the little insight that I have, it only makes me want more. Thats not what one would call a job, I call this having fun doing what you enjoy and making a comfortable living while also helping others.

I really enjoyed this course. I like the quality of the material and labs. I liked how everything was explained in a manner that was easy to understand. The only thing I would possibly change is to add more ways to practice the skills learned maybe by adding more labs or test or even expanding on those.

The course was well done over all. It is encouraging to see "real" people with great diversity involve in IT. I do have an small IT company and I wanted to see how a big company like Google does IT and it was happy to see that I am not so far off in my approach of solving IT problems. Great job Google!

Absolutely LOVED it. It was really well put together. Gave me a great picture of what to expect, helped me realize what I've already known, learning knew skills on top of that, and opening a future for me and my family that I honestly never thought I'd ever get to. I recommend these courses to EVERYONE!
