Awesome course, being new to this field comming in with no experience besides my own personal experience dealing with computers I can say I've learned alot from this course let alone continuing my journey to earn the rest of the certifications and specializations offered though google and much more!

Some information may feel basic if you have a background in tech, but it's a great way to make sure you don't have any holes in your knowledge before diving in further. And if you don't have experience working in tech, this provides a great overview of most of the things you are likely to encounter.

The course was fascinating, the instructors were professional and focused, assignments were flexible but a bit slow, it concentrated on both empirical and theoretical but the theoretical part was a bit larger.

I am very thankful for being granted such an awesome opportunity by Google.keep up Google.

I really enjoyed this first step in the world of IT, it sounded daunting but as I progressed each week it was fairly easy to understand especially in layman terms. I did get help from online IT chat support and they were awesome and had me understand even more on why I am pursuing what I love to do.

Growing up around computers, tinkering, upgrading, repairing and trouble shooting them on my own I have learned a lot. Taking this course I was surprised I still have a lot more to learn and am very happy courses like this exists. I wish we had courses and online learning like this back in the 90's.

This was an interesting certification. I was able to complete it in 3 weeks and I believe that with some determination you could possibly complete it in a similar time if not faster.

Defiantly make shore that you are not just doing it for the degree but make sure you actually understand the material.

Excellent program! If you know nothing about IT but want to start on a career path, this is the course for you. The videos are great as they take you step-by-step on a path of learning all of the basic skills you'll need to begin your IT Support Specialist career. Definitely worth signing up for.

I think this course is very nice! It was really good because I noticed that I have been solving a lot of problems in life and this IT course gives me a lot of directions to solve the clients problems too! However I found some technical problems, coursera´s team was very nice to help me solving them!

This has been a great course so far. The explanations are easy to understand, even for someone with very little tech knowledge. The written transcripts are the best because I can follow along even if I don't have sound - and it helps me to take notes. Overall, a great way to present the material.

A quality, well-balanced intro to tech support fundamentals. If you are a heavy computer user for recreational/work purposes currently (I.E. lots of gaming, rec. coding, work with computers as a primary interface to your job) you will already know ~60% or more of the content covered in this course.

So far in completing 1 or the 5 required portions of the course I am extremely excited for what is to come and I am highly fulfilled with the level of information I have obtained thus far. I have encountered minor problems with loading labs but other then that, the interface operates very smoothly.

Very well structured introductory lectures. A lot of information to digest. The only detail I do not like is that there are lengthy videos of the instructors talking about there personal experience. I consider these should be optional and included at the end of the course for those who are curious.

A great course! Everything was very professionally represented. This course made intimidating topics easy to grasp because of it's way of describing things efficiently and simply. I feel confident that IT is the perfect fit for me after completing this course and seeing what the field has to offer.

Hi, my name is Manoj Singh. This course changed my mindset of serving the IT that how to understand user's issues keeping the mind calm and use empathy so that the user explains the answers relevant questions. In this course mostly enjoyed the troubleshooting part.

Thanks,

This course is a "must-do" for anyone who is a novice and wants to get into the IT-field. The structure/context it provides to help understand IT processes is going to be very helpful for learning the more complex materials. The material is fun and the teachers are all very engaging and personable.

I am really enjoying learming more about the Linux platform. I was afraid because it used to look like a bunch of letters on a screen that made no sense to me. Now I understand what they mean by human readable instructions. Thank you for the labs, I would never have gotten any of this without them!

I really enjoyed this course. It was paced just right and I appreciated the step by step learning and how each lesson led into the next. I also liked the google virtual machine lessons that allowed me to work on Linux and learn how to build a computer without having to purchase expensive equipment.
