I have gained more knowledge by learning this Technical Support Fundamental Course, Lecturers were explained clearly everything with examples, the course is fully with English Transcript so by Reading and Listing, student get more knowledge, after each section covered there is a test session and in the middle of the lessons also question popped up to get student's attention. Most Importantly I have learnt a lot and experienced by following this course.

The course was really engaging and gamified. I was able to learn things with ease. The content was well structured and on to the point. The mentors being employees of Google and learning from their experience is something that benifits all. The QwikLabs guided labs were really helpful in spinning up Virtual machines to practice on.

I will definetely recommend this course to everyone. My huge respect for Coursera and Google for brining up the initiative.

I wasn't sure this course was right for me initially but I decided to take it anyway. After learning all these interesting things about the way computers work and listening to the personal experiences of the instructors, I feel confident about pursuing a career in IT. This course has broadened my knowledge in so many different ways. I was always so eager to see what the next lesson unfolds so I completed it in a week.

Thank you Google, Thank you Coursera

I really enjoyed this course. Firstly the lay out and the structure of the course was excellent having the videos and the supplement reading in the same place was genius . It was good to have several presenters delivering the information, made you like you were in class meeting different people. Moreover it was good to have short videos rather and long ones, and finally I really enjoyed the video on building a computer. Thanks for this opportunity.

This is a very informative course that is broken down into the basics that an IT Support Tech would need to know in order to understand the fundamental concepts that can open the doors to a career in technology. I think the most important and helpful part of this course is how the instructors explain concepts in easier-to-understand terms, that would be generally accessible to people who do not start out with a working knowledge of computer technology.

This is the first of five courses in the Google IT Support Specialization course, and so far, I'm loving it. The modules and lessons are broken down into short, manageable chunks that feel approachable. The content is simple while also covering complex subjects in a way that is easy to understand and retain. The instructors presenting the content are also very good at presenting; I found them engaging and easy to listen to, and they held my attention.

This course has took me through all the basics in the IT Support field which includes networking, beginner, software and also contains Interview experiences of many experts and they have demo for everything to make sure we learn it easily. Simply speaking this is the best course for every beginner who wants to learn about technology. SECURITY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL and this course can help us to take the first step in that for sure.

It was an interesting journey. This course exposed me to the world of IT, and gingered my desire to seek more answers to some questions about IT I have long thought about. It was a very good experience for me. All the instructors, and folks who role played were so awesome and amazing. I'd like to express my thanks and appreciations for their time and hard word put in the planning, development, and the instruction of this course. It was rewarding......

Eu amei fazer esse curso, expandiu muito meu conhecimento, não fazia ideia de quase nada sobre a internet, foi a parte mais difícil pra mim e a que fiquei mais feliz e ansiosa para concluir foi um desafio e tanto. Me mostrou o quanto eu ainda não sei e isso me impulsiona a querer saber mais e mais, descobri em 2019 que quero trabalhar com TI e esse curso só me provou que é isso mesmo que quero fazer. Muito obrigada Google & Coursera pela oportunidade!

I enjoyed taking these courses and I learned a lot about the program. Some tasks were a little difficult, for example converting decimal numbers to binary code but I kept being persistent, did three attempts and passed the third attempted. I will continue to take more courses from google because they fit within my busy schedule.

I would recommend everyone to take the technical support fundamentals course. It's a great program and you won't regret it!

And I will not fail to acknowledge the good effort of my instructors, I love you guys, you're the best. I hope to be able to give out my knowledge to the world as much as i can possibly can. Once again, thank you to everyone who make this course a success for me. More to come!

I can't give this course a rating of anything less than the best (5 star).

The layout of each course/teachings are super impressive. The teachers are world class(non gender/race/ethnical biase), making you feel welcome and confident with encouragements and less pressure, sharing their own background stories/personal experience. Which in turn makes a learner to dare to believe, and to me; that's the very 1st step towards a great future.

Well done guys

very good starting content -- helps you see what areas you're familiar with (if any) and what areas are new and will require more of your focus -- gives very good 'broad strokes' to introduce you to the areas of content that will be covered more in-depth in later lessons -- some issues with the instructions for the labs, but click on the chat option and get them to tell you what to do if you get lost the first time -- after that you'll have it down

Well thought out program that has such a easy flow to follow. The videos and Google staff reenacted the experience in a real world environment. The confident instilled in the course allows someone like me with not much tech experience comfortable in the uncharted territory. I thank you and your entire organization. Im abit sadden now because its not so clear on how I can continue in this program but I'm not giving up on learning new tech things.

This was an incredibly informative but easy to follow course. I have zero IT experience past setting up my own phone or pc apps and I was able to follow along with this content. It's wonderful to be able to go back and rewatch or restudy videos and notes when I wasn't sure about something or I just needed to refresh my memory. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in getting into the IT field! Thank you Google and Coursera!

This was a great course I really learned a lot I refreshed my mind with all the words and phrases of a technical career it really opened my mind to learn more and be more specific on how computers work like knowing how each component connect to each other like hardware to a software or the processes needed to be done in order to send an email or to create a website. I am definitely eager to learn more about Linux which I had no experienced at all.

This course took me a lot longer than I originally thought it would take! There were so many fundamentals that I didn't know that I didn't know. This was a great course to catch everyone up to get beginners onto the same level as other people. I have already filled almost an entire composition notebook with notes only from this course! There is a lot of independent reading, and I do highly recommend bookmarking them for future references as well.

This course may cover topics such as troubleshooting techniques, customer service skills, communication strategies, and how to use technical support tools. Overall, the Technical Support Fundamentals course may be beneficial for those who are interested in pursuing a career in technical support or who need to provide technical support as part of their job responsibilities.

I learned the new world by completing this course. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful intro course. I took notes and read my notes and was completly hooked on the information that I recieved. there were a couple of gotcha questions that i over looked at first, but this was my own fault for not going over my notes before starting the questions. I plan to study this course one more time before continueing to the next. I am confident that this course is a great stepping stone to further my career. Thank you.

The course has exceeded my expectation. This is not just a usual learning platform, the course offers a holistic approach on learning and developing one's self passion. I like the role playing videos, motivational interviews, and career tips. It helps me develop my confidence, pushes myself to learn more, and understand the IT world as it evolves. I highly recommend this course to everybody, either for career development or personal growth.

This fundamental course on Technical Support really was worth every while i devoted to it, to new learners, it might seem daunting but with a mind made up, you can scale through and trust me you would not regret your actions. This course would widen your Horizon as to matters pertaining to IT and how to deal with clients in the course of your day to day interaction with them, either virtual or in person. Thank you Coursera for the opportunity
