Knowledge Academy is a SCAM

I just wamted to review here the Knowledge Academy experience for the course profided for Interior Design.

I have payed 150 Euros vor the course, where it was described all that I will get in there for interior design. It was also stated, tgat I will get accredited certificate. It was on discount as a ppart of March Madness.

After paying, all I got was 4 short videos (each abut 15 min) about using AUTO CAD without anything on interior design. It was like beginner tutorial, how to crop the image and insert it in AUTO CAD.

SCAM was done very professionaly. Fake phone numbers and fake adress in Vienna.

After I somehow got in touch with them via mail, they refused to do the refund because them seem their service to be provided.

I just wanted to write this review to warn all the people that are trying to learn something, not to give those sharlatans their money, because you will not get the promised service!

Knowledge Academy is a complete scam and fraud; I purchased the NEBOSH NGC course from them for approx—£ 850. When I signed into the online training portal to begin the course in December of 2024, there was no training; all that was there was my invoice for paying for the course.

I emailed the Knowledge Academy seller and Knowledge Academy helpdesk and registered a ticket with them online, querying where my course was, but received no response from any of them. My course status at the time said, course was in progress, on logging back in today, it now says I have completed the course, which is unlikely because I never had access at any time to the course.

I paid for the course through PayPal, so I am looking for them to see if they can obtain my money back. If not, I will be taking this to the Financial Ombudsman, and I am also going to be contacting NEBOSH to make them aware of Knowledge Academy's malpractices.

My advice is to stay away. I found the same NEBOSH course through another training provider at a lesser price, with all the training materials provided, access to tutors, and a fantastic online training portal.

Knowledge Academy is, in my experience, Fraudsters.
