This was an excellent course even for a novice in IT. The only thing that I would add is a glossary of terms so that they could be readily accessed during the course-----so many terms, so little time.

It was very good and covered binary. But I feel as though this was more of a total noob certificate ( No offense ) I was able to maintain and almost 98% grade and finished the course in three days.. Most of it was a recap with a couple tips i didn't know. I'd also prefer you do more cutting and editing than little texts boxes that point out mistakes. Thanks.

What makes this course unique is that it has a number of instructors, but they all seem to have the same passion about IT and how they work. Even though some of the concepts are things you have heard before, the break it down for you to really grasp the concept as if it is the first time you are hearing them. I will entreat everyone to apply for this course.

The basics of IT is fascinating and allows someone who might be a critical thinker to excel at problem solving on a higher level. It also encourages someone who may not know anything about IT but wants a career change to make the change with the easy to understand lessons and videos put together to give a better example/explaination of the material involved.

The course is very informative and lets you get a taste of being hands on with real world scenarios. The material feels seamless but packed with all the information you will need to be effective as you start your career as an IT Specialist. I would recommend trying out the course even if you are just brushing up your skills to stay relevant with the times.

The idea of the course is interesting. It focuses on the learner being a user, and making sure the learner is user ready, as if they were to come to and IT specialist themselves. The course hints at specialising yourself in a specific area of IT is common and depending on where you work within the field you will naturally expand your knowledge and knowhow.

Great Course! I have learnt a lot how computers work, about HW, SW, the Internet . While I had very limited knowledge of IT when I started, I now have the feeling I have expanded it a lot. The courses are well presented and very interesting, I was never bored, they kept me excited at any time! I am looking forward to the upcoming courses of this program!

I think it might help to give definitions of phrases that will be used at the start of each week's lessons. It got confusing when instructors were throwing out terminology and acronyms without prior explanation. Some I've heard before and need a brush-up and others were new. I think this would be helpful since this course is meant for beginners in IT.

Ce cours était très intéressant, tellement que je n'ai pas vu le temps passé.

Les professionnels sont géniaux, on voit qu'ils sont passionnés. Ils nous expliquent le cours de manière clair et concis.

La plupart des vidéos sont sous-titrés anglais et quelques uns en français.

Les QCM, les simulations et les devoirs permettent de réviser ce que l'on a appris

It was a great experience taking the Google IT support course. It was quite frightening for me to work in the IT industry and I thought I would never be successful. It was easy to understand the course and assignments because the language is simple and clear. I would like to thank all Google employees. I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life... 🍀🍀

From the first time I took this lesson, I've learnt about of things that I've never learnt before, even though i'm currently studying in the IT field. The lesson that I learnt a lot was about hardware. Thanks also for the brilliant teachers in this course, now I've learnt the basic fundamentals for the IT Support. I'm looking forward to the next course.

Excelente, mais que excelente na verdade. Conteúdo maravilhoso, assim como a didática. Eu tenho muita dificuldade pra absorver conteúdo. E a didáticos dos intrutores é fazer referência do conteúdo com a rotina do dia a dia e dessa forma o conteúdo fixa melhor. Com certeza, me tornei uma profissional melhor com o conhecimento adquirido nesse treinamento.
