I have been in IT held desk support for years and there was still SO MUCH for me to learn and take away from this program. Highly reommend that even if you are a veteran in the field this is such a good refresher and pretext to a deeper understanding.

Even though I have some experience already in assisting others with IT related issues, I found that this course broadened my knowledge incredibly. I enjoyed the motivating aspects of the course and the instructor delivery. Everything was well designed.

Getting Coursera to recognize grading from the external learning tool the first time it was used was the most difficult part, though the instructions explained it perfectly. Other than that, it was a very straight forward and easily understood process.

It was the great learning experience with the enthusiastic tutors of Google. I learned some of the important fundamentals of IT from ground level which everyone should be aware of in today's world. Thanks for giving this opportunity to learn and grow !

Excellent introduction to computer IT. Cover the fundamentals and core concepts. Much of it I knew, but what I didn't know, filled in a ton of big holes. For someone who knows nothing about IT, this course is a perfectly paced start. Well done, Google!

This was an amazing course and I cannot wait to continue my education in the IT Support Specialist certificate. I really enjoyed learning about the fundamentals of IT and Computer Science, and look forward to more in-depth discussions about everything!

I really enjoyed these online classes. I've attempted online learning before, but the visual aids of actual people lecturing and showing examples were huge in helping my understanding throughout the course. I look forward to learning more via Coursera.

amazing course, very fun and productive at the same time, I gave 5 stars but at one point the VM stopped working even though I finished the task, but it only took me 10 minutes to redo so I guess it wasn't too much of a train smash. Highly recommended

Great learning experience.

Learning the fundamentals of technical support and how to help others, from troubleshooting, customer service, networking, operating systems, and more, allows me to grow in a career I have been interested for many years now.

Awesome. This course did a great job of giving an outline of what an IT support professional does and how he/she is expected to behave. I really enjoyed the soft skills like customer service and dealing with difficult situations taught in this course.

A course built in a very logical and understandable way. I recommend this course even to people who do not provide IT support. These tutorials are helpful for both people who use a computer at home and people who work with a computer on a daily basis.

This was a really good first step for someone who's never really done anything in IT, such as myself. It gives enough general broad information to cover what you'll see in IT and in later courses, but keeps it interesting enough to want to keep going.

I already knew a fair amount about computers but this course did teach me quite a bit, like more terminology, I can read and write binary (which might not be as useful, but still fun to know) and working on other operating systems that aren't Windows.

Great, and easy to use beginner intro to IT Support. I've started programs for many different career paths since I graduated from high school; but nothing has captivated me quite like IT has. So much fun and I'm so excited for the remaining courses.

I had no idea how a computer works at the beginning. we have learned a lot of fundamentals of the computer itself example how to put it together or how the network and the systems operate to name a few. This course is giving me hope and determination.

It is with great honor to be part of this wining team ,even though it wasn't easy adding or combining a lot of things at the same time but in all am more than grateful especially to the technical team for their patience and great support the offer me

Instructors are a bit boring because they are reading from cue cards and not truly masters of the material they are teaching. You will become more computer literate and pick up some school that were not that hard you just needed them explained to you.

The Technical Support Fundamental Course has opened my mind into the Tech World. I use computers and applications daily but this course has allowed me know why and how things works better. I can't wait to proceed to the next Google IT Support Courses.

Como iniciación está perfecto este curso. Aunque a veces parece que dice cosas muy obvias o de primer nivel, son detalles que a veces se pasan por alto o se dejan de tener en cuenta en este mundo. Las dinámicas de los videos son buenas y entretenidas,

After the first week, I started to get the hang of this course. It provided very good lectures and additional reading sources to make learning more clear. I would definitely recommend it to others who want to learn more about computers and technology.
