This course was under-rated to some degree by some of my friends that are already IT professionals but I feel that it carries a lot of weight for the detailed information that it presents. If you are not well versed in the inner workings of Information Technology then this course is predomently designed for you. Whatever your level of experience, this class is entitled "fundamentals" for a reason. Please do not under-estimate its impactful design. I want to thank all of the people that we're involved in the amking of this material.

The course was very insightful and very well put together. Not once, did I feel like I was being bombarded with overly-complicated information. Rather, things were delivered in a way that I, as a newbie to a lot of tech jargon, was able to understand. There is something really cool about knowing all of the things a computer does. It makes me want to share what I know with others and even dig into their own computers; though I won't do that until I get through the course, of course. I feel anxious, but excited to learn more. Thank you.

Two things I'd recommend would be having a glossary of terms for each week for students to download. Maybe in flash card format. The other thing that was kind of distracting were the camera shots. One was it'd go back and forth from two different angles way to often. The other was the off angle shot had the host looking forward like they weren't talking to me. I'd suggest either keeping the one shot, maybe using the same angle but going closer when emphasizing something. It was just a little distracting. Otherwise nice program.

I was worried coming into this course because I have no real technical background but this was surprisingly easy to grasp and I was able to learn a lot! I liked the steady pace that was kept and the updates that let me know when the "deadline" was. I say that because you have until the end of the course to complete most things so there isn't a ton of pressure on the deadline part, however there are still parts of the course that have a time limit but being able to work throughout the week or even ahead of time makes things manageable.

I think this course was pretty straight forward in helping me to understand some of the basics of IT. When I began this course, I also started a very stressful full-time job in the healthcare industry. I appreciated the fact that I was able to change my due dates of assignments, since I didn't expect my new job to take such a toll on me. But I love the feature of being able to take notes with the click of a button and re-watch the videos to make sure I understood everything.

So I would definitely recommend this course to others.

This was an excellent course. It gave an overall summary review of information technology, touching upon seemingly all the important topics. I really admire the way the instructors, who are obviously pros in the IT world, were able to boil the topics down so that people like myself without formal education in IT could understand it easily. At the beginning of Course 1 I had high expectations for what I would learn from Google, and I was not at all disappointed. I am very impressed with the class and I can't wait to move forward.

This was quite a wonderful introduction to the world IT, although I know that I have a lot more to learn. Not only was the program very engaging and concise. It was effective with the goal to help introduce people to the world of computer technology and begin becoming hands on learners with technology starting in our very own homes. Thank you to google and everyone who participated in the development of this program. I hope to utilize this information I learned to help do my part to aid in the future of computer technology one day.

This course is fun and easy. The videos were relatable accross many aspects. They are easy to relate to from a cultural perspective due to the fact that there are different ethnicities and genders in the videos. The questions at the end of each module were easy to remember because of the length of the videos and what was being tested. Lastly, the supplemental reading and materials are all so grateful, especially the IT interview videos and resources. I am glad I took this course and will add the certificate to my file. Thank you!!

This is by far the best decision I have made in a while and have no single regret about it. I coudn't have asked for a better way to launch my career in IT. The simplicity and explanation the instructors gave in every module is highly commendable and I am so grateful to all the instructors for their time and effort. Thank you so much for giving a novice like me a chance of achieving a life long dream of becoming an IT specialist. You all have given me a drive and zeal to forge ahead in my career in IT and I am extremely grateful.

All of these courses are done well, or well done. I am going through them kind of good because as soon as I complete the course I take the test's and that lets me know how well I am remembering the information I am being taught so if I see an area where I need to do some more study, and concentration I just go back and watch the courses again. I hope we can keep these course studies so I can use them for future reference. I think I may need them, I also want to thank you very much and I am, Michael P. Powers or just Mike will do.

Course is well-organized and made-easy, because it was delivered in Small Sections, Videos, Questionnaires, Assessments, Reading Suggestions, Quick lab Practicals which I could do at my own pace and time. I must appreciate, how each teacher was aware of previous lessons from other teachers and videos and delivered lesson in correct context which is important for its consistency, effectiveness and continuity. I am sure I will have the same experience in upcoming courses in this certificate program which I am going to follow next.

This Course is Very much Informative and Can Let anyOne change their Words From 'I know nothing about tech' --To--> ' I know Something may be enough to figure somethings for my Tech' and This Course will Build Confidence in Learning and Ability of Doing thing Practically HandsOn.

Instructors were very Good and I would likely say that was more than you could expect even if I say it's Too Much Knowledge., So This Course is taught by Some Tech Gems, I felt this and I'm about to say more Obviously here. Anyway, Happy LearninG . . .

I recently completed this course that had some really great lessons and scenarios for beginner learners. I learned a lot from the course and was proud to say that it was very helpful in my journey toward becoming more proficient in this field. The way the course was structured and the amount of information presented made it easy for me to follow along and grasp the concepts being taught. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is just starting out in IT or looking to deepen their knowledge in this area..

It's actually the best course among all the other courses that I have ever pursued. I liked each and every part of this course. I liked each and every mentor, their way of addressing things and delivering content. The content and the whole materials are really awesome. I believe this course would be my career builder and take me to where I wanted to go. Thank you very much, Google for providing such a useful course, and Thank you Coursera for providing such a nicest platform to learn and grow.

Thanks and regards,

If you have passion on IT, I recommend this course for you whatever degree you have or not. Happy learning :)

First of all I joined this course just in a wonder Oh it's Google's course and I successfully completed my first week and after that I took a break, which was definitely a long break from continuing this course and then the deadlines was approaching closer and closer. I started to learn from there. And it was getting interesting day by day. I finished my week 2 by 5 days and week 3 & 4 by a single day. Week 5 was gone in a FLASH and completed my week 6 TODAY!! THANK YOU GOOGLE and the MENTORS for this wonderful course

I have learned a lot of different skills in the field of information technology, and I want to learn more and more. I have learned how computers work, how to set up networks, how to maintain computer and phone devices, and I have also learned about protocols. The last unit that taught me how to communicate effectively with others was really great. Thank you very much, and I look forward to learning more and more. Indeed, there were wonderful days when I was learning, and it was a good course, even more than wonderful

So much knowledge in this course regarding the IT support role work. the explanation is also in detail. I learned about understanding how the binary system works, assemble a computer from scratch, choose and install an operating system on a computer, understand what the Internet is, how it works, and the impact it has in the modern world, learn how applications are created and how they work under the hood of a computer, utilize common problem-solving methodologies and soft skills in an Information Technology settings.

I really enjoyed the course. It allowed me to understand basic concepts and ideiais about the IT field. And now that I have this broader vision, it is easier to plan my next steps.

I found learning about technology really exciting, but it was surprising how much I enjoyed the modules about troubleshooting and customer service, because, in the end, the most important things, in our career or personal lives, comes from the way we make decisions and how we relate to people from around.

Excited to start the second course!

The course in my opinion, is a must have for anyone who has an interest in IT.

No matter what age you are. I've been around computer for many years, probably long before some of you were born. However, I did not realize there is much more to the ins and outs of IT before something piqued my curiosity.

Now more than ever, I have a drive to dig deeper and deeper into IT and see where it leads me and how much this old graybeard can learn. It is all about the journey and I do not see IT as a journey that has an ending.

Thank you for creating this course. It was so neat to see and learn how the Google IT specialists got to their places, as well as what kind of day to day things they face in their field. I now know what the IT Support department of my company faces in general, and that what kind of approach they might have for the troubles that I submit. I used to think that things I ask IT would be so elementary that I should not ask. But, I was encouraged to get help from the IT, and keep learning about computers, IT, and tech.

this is some awesome stuff. with the best teachers, Coursera is a great website. I learned many new things like how we troubleshoot how we can interact with customers how we can help them and many more. with the help of the world's best teachers, I learned how I can create a revolution in IT. this course helped me a lot to increase my knowledge I am very thankful to Google for all these things. Google is doing for youth is admirable to me this is one of the best experiences of my life Thank you Google Thanks IRM.

I have been interested in computer technologies from a young age. I went to college and studied computer science.But all along the ways of my learning journey, I get to understand that there will always be more to learn and that is what makes the computer field so exciting and challenging. Being part of the Google IT Professional Certificate learning community is one of a time opportunity to build up more skills and knowledge for a better position on the IT field and stay ahead in the IT industry.

Thank you all!

This course seems to be a well constructed overview of the basics of tech support. As a learner without deep knowledge of computer applications, it forced me to learn some new things about various software platforms as well as software applications. For instance, it has been 20 years since I used MS Word extensively and I discovered through this course that I could send a document in PDF form. That's pretty basic, but it made me happy! I will continue to be persistent and learn many new things in the next course.
