General
Is Knowledge Train related to other companies with similar names?
No. We have no partner or subsidiary companies. However, we have noticed since we started in 2005 that other companies have tried to copy us by taking part of our name. That’s why you’ll see other AgilePM Foundation training providers with the word ‘Knowledge’ in the name. Always better to go with the original though rather than with cheap copies! Read our story here.
Do you have a good reputation?

There was a lot to cover and this was daunting at times, but by the time the exam came around I felt very confident about the material and very well prepared.
The additional course notes were extremely useful and provided a very useful summary of course contents for revision and the exam.
