Pros

None that come to mind.

Cons

TKA take on their staff with many promises and it would be possible to remain there for some time if you are prepared to put in very long hours with no reward financial or otherwise. The staff turnover is very high which speaks for itself. There is no regard for a decent work/life balance. Senior staff are prevented from doing the job (by the owners) they have been taken on to do and then marched out of the door unexpectedly. If you need job security and the ability to pay your mortgage do not apply for a position with these people.

Pros

The only positive thing I can mention is that the head trainer Peter Thomson is a stand-up guy who knows what he's doing. I don't know how TKA keeps him. He's better quality than to work for them.

Cons

The Knowledge Academy TKA is the worst I've seen in 30 years in IT I was contacted to train for The Knowledge Academy (TKA). I conducted TOGAF certification level one and two classes in Memphis May 1-4. TKA is by far the worst company I have ever been involved with in my entire 30 year+ career. I was (under)paid $300 a day for teaching a class they were charging $5000 per delegate to attend. They arranged the hotel (not allowed to do it myself). It was a ghetto hotel, in the midst of abandon buildings with a drug dealer stationed out front. The floors were sticky to walk on and infested with Cockroaches. The coordinators - all from India - couldn't write emails in discernable English and were totally lacking in any customer service etiquette. If you're a Trainer - BEWARE!. If you're a potential delegate! There are better cheaper (half the price) certification mills in abundance. They are horrible. D- or F score. Every possible horrible thing they do. Over Charge delegates. Under Pay trainers. Horrible customer service. Coordinators in India don't know how to craft a whole sentence or even spell it right. They will not pay you promptly.
