This knowledgetoaction blog has received many
reviews about the
knowledgetoaction seminars, equity trading course and FX trading course. These user reviews are great because most are impartial, and from people who
really attended the course. Occasionally there is the odd review which is far too positive towards knowledgetoaction, which makes you wonder whether that review is genuine or if it was written by a knowledgetoaction employee
so reviews and comments should sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt!
Over the next few weeks we will be compiling the reviews together to create a "KnowledgetoAction Reviews" post.

If it sounds too good to be true, as what K2A presenters pitch you, without doubt it is a scam!
ReplyDeleteI have filed for a court case against Knowledge to Action Ltd at my local county court, YES, I am suing the company at the moment. Their presenters misled me and tricked me to sign up with their course. They told me that I would be able to make £2,000 a month with trading capital of £2,000 by only trading 20-30 minutes a day. I was told this is achievable after 6 months of attending their two-day training and using their methodology.
ReplyDeleteIt was a big lie, I was a newbie and did not know that it is absolutely impossible to achieve 100% return on my trading capital each month. Later, I discovered that you need £30,000 – £40,000 or more trading capital with very good trading experience and excellent discipline to possibly make £2,000 per month. I was conned, I lost money on trading and had to pay £32 per month for using ShareScope software.
I was completely misled and therefore I want to exercise my consumer right to bring the company to court for justice. You are completely nuts to sign up with their courses after reading all these negative reviews, unless you have too much time and money to waste!
If you believe Knowledge to Action is a scam and you have been conned by the company please report them to Consumer Direct 08454 040506, http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/scamnesty and the Office of Fair Trading by sending an e-mail to sc@mnesty.net
ReplyDeleteI'm bringing Knowledge to Action Ltd to court to claim a full refund, I was conned by the company's very experienced and skilled presenters and their unrealistic earnings figures. If you were misled you should also bring the company to your local county court to get your full refund. You should not let them con money out of you and let them walk away free leaving you with financial losses and misery!
ReplyDeleteThe Office of Fair Trading defines a scam is a scheme designed to con you out of your cash. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated and aim to con us all. Report Knowledge to Action if you were conned by them on https://secure.consumerdirect.gov.uk/reportascam.aspx
By bring the company to the court and reporting to Consumer Direct you are helping to prevent more and more innocent people from becoming victims as well.
I run a very successful shop! If I had as much as 1 unhappy customer I would personally give them a refund and something free from my shop as an apology. K2A don't seem to care that they have unhappy customers they even seem a bit arrogant to the fact and quite defensive. I wanted to do the course's as I do buy stocks and shares the good old fashioned way - i will stick to it as i have always been successful. We all want a get rich scheme - unfortunately there isn't one unless you think of the whole system yourself. We all know there is millions to be had in the stock market so why not book a course with the London Stock Exchange themselves! Good luck everyone. T x

Ohh sorry guys forgot when you question the fact that on there free seminar they said they would guide you step by step until you can trade on your own the answer i got back about that from K2K was well you should have read you clause on your paper work, which is all good but there's on problem with that, the only time you see the clause is once you have designed up. the clause was not available on the night for viewing on the free seminar for us to see the only thing they wanted that night was your money DO NOT TRUST THEM UNLESS THEY BACK YOU UP
ReplyDeleteI concur with what has been said having attended a course and find that they only give you enough information to start trading, but not enough to make it without getting more from them (at a cost). I have followed everything to the letter and find that there are certain factors with work against me which for me, I cannot explain. Everybody I know so far who has done the course is not making the kind of profits that they were expecting and many are running at a loss.
ReplyDeleteI have a degree and masters from Oxford University and currently doing a PhD on Mergers and Acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteI attended a free seminar with my mother and father. In my opinion I believe it to be a scam, quite funny in fact to sit there and watch, professors would have a field day. Without going deeply into the theoretical components, because quite frankly you could write a PhD on the aspects they cover and still never come to a concise conclusion. Yes you can potentially beat the stock market and potentially through software some merits have been found. But they significantly over simplify the complexity! Firstly you have Einstein’s random walk theory under which you can argue ultimately stock prices move randomly. More recently you then have the work of Fama’s three forms of market efficiency under which you can potentially beat the stock market, but by no means under the levels of certainty they claim, realistically you would need many years of highly complex training and there would still be no guarantees.
In all honestly please hold onto your money and do not risk it with them, they are essentially targeting people who are out of work potentially with redundancy capital to invest. They create an illusion and play on your hopes and dreams with their creative imagery. If you have the money to lose then go for it, it may well be successful, however I strongly doubt it.
The so called trader who given the seminar to me did not seem significantly wealthy, simply put, I have a Porsche GT3, although I do not know what car he drove, my car was the most expensive in the car park, actions speak far louder than words. I would expect someone who was so keen to show off in the seminar to have actual tangible aspects to show off with.
Having done some research the FSA have Knowledge To Action listed as one of the companies people should avoid listening to regarding any investment opportunities or information. Check out http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Doing/Regulated/Law/pdf/knowledge.pdf for more info
ReplyDeletei did the course 2 yearas ago, plus their forex course. There both a good foundation for a trading career. If your losing its because your one of the 95% who can't do it. Basicly your crap at trading, but thats good as i'm one of the 5% taking all you cash. You gotta remember trading takes a special type of person, and if you havn't got it, you never will. Heres a good book to read by Micheal douglas ' Trading in the Zone' this will explain probably where your going wrong. I gotta admit most people who go on the course have no chance, and I personally think K2A should run some exams but technical and pschycological, which are out there, i suppose the problem with that is there students would dwindle severly, but like I say keep betting and whinging, i'm doin fine.
ReplyDeleteRight, well k2a is an interesting one as they are attempting to teach a different kind of education, one about self discipline, tenacity, and attitude. You can get all of k2a strategies online for free or many other things for free, but would you? this is the point. would you actually take the time to do so, especially as you may not trust the info, or be so blinded by 2 million pages of differing opinions that you would not bother. K2A is EXCELLENT for a few reasons. They encourage you by thinking of the rewards. They motivate you to get your charting packages and trading accounts set up. They show you techniques to see when and where to trade the markets. what they cannot show you is if you mess up, you can lose money. first rule, dont mess up! In short, it is FANTASTIC for beginners.
ReplyDeleteYes it seems like a scam at first, yes its difficult to get your head around why they are doing this, but heres a good thought: you pay the money to motivate you to do it. If I went to a free seminar and was given free information i simply wouldnt bother doing anything with it. Id feel it had no value. their high price tag goes with the fact that the course is excellent and the information is second to none. You CAN make profit, how much is up to you. An expert trader can definately make what they suggest in the course build up. Instead of suing the company, why not spend your time re reading over the course material. you would be much better off.
By the way, I am not a k2a rep!!! I was sceptical at first too as you would be when parting with 2 grand. But you can make money and the information will help you for life.
Good luck

hi i just wasted a joyous £40.00 getting to one of there seminars and back , everybody was easily taken in by the suave nature of the black american guy giving his account of how you can get money easily by trading under there system . Unfortunately it is peoples own disbelief in themselves and there greed that they get roped in to giving these con merchants £2000 of there money , no wonder they have a trading floor in chelsea , most people put theres in the city , chelsea is obviously a good place to hide away from real traders they might get found out. They have accumulated a lot of wealth because there hopping from country to country setting up this scam , the black american guy set alarm bells ringing with me when he said he has seen every continent already at his age , obviously by hyper bullshiting his way around the planet taking peoples money for nothing. I have been in business 28 years , green isnt my favourite colour , i told mr singh or what ever gupters name was that i am interested ( Not ) and to call me at 6am tomorrow , so he will be an early riser tomorrow to be told to fuck off , i had to bullshit the bullshiter after hewasted my day .Colin Bowen mrcmbowen@yahoo.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI love reading these blogs to see what kind of people and failures are out there. The reason I say this is because this blog almost ruined my life. I almost pulled out of K2A's 2 day course last year in Sept but decided to go forward with it and commit. Since then I have quite my job and trade full time. Im not a millionaire but am making consistent money to live off. If you see the glass half full then what have you got to lose whereas Im pretty sure most people here are half glass empty kind of people with JOB's (Just Over Broke). The world does need people like you to wash my car and clean my house!
ReplyDeleteNice one Karen, another K2A employee spamming the blog!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you were genuine you would have offered some useful tips to the readers, rather slate off all those who are trying to save innocent people from bring ripped off by an expensive course which offers no more than what you could find on the internet: and certainly, doesn't offer a risk-free way to trade your way to riches as they try to make you think!!
i've just done the seminar and signed the contract giving a deposit of 500£ they told i have 7 days to cancel anf after reading these comments i dont know what to do... help
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post and the subsequent discussion.
I read it at the Southampton, Novotel, event yesterday (29th bNov 2010) as I sat there, just before I put pen to paper and signed on the dotted line.(Thank you iPhone)
Glad I did!
A fool and his money are soon parted and I have been a fool in the past.
So noticed the folowing signals:
1) Speed of delivery: Meant he had done it several times.Q.Why?
2)Testimonial Group (exclusivity) was a side track, a conjurers trick to distract your attention.
2)Only 5 places (really! then why are you doing it so often)
3)Price tag 3K+ Vat dropped to 2K+Vat if you sign up now.
4)Why the phone calls and text messages before I turn up. (a bit desperate surely!)
Finally, they reminded me of the guy selling fake watches/perfume, offering you amazing discounts.
If you attend enough of these free seminars you'll soon observe a pattern.
Maybe I should copy them and run "free courses" on how not to be gullible.
I was also pissed off with the lack of refreshments on a flipping cold day.
Good luck folks!
Unfortunately most people may only read your post after they've cbeen taken in.

Hi All,
ReplyDeleteI too was very sceptical about the initial K2A free seminar especially after reading a few internet articles suggesting they are scams. However, I went along, I wasn't pressured to part with my money and was able to leave quite happily if I had wanted to.
I chose to sign up for their two day course, as I felt it could be the start to a new life without the barriers and limitations of 'normal working life'.
It is now 4 months since I attended my two day course, I have happily invested more time and money in learning how to trade the financial markets to make money and to produce the kind of wealth to live a lifestyle I only used to dream about.
I and many of my K2A peer graduates are now succesfully generating enough income to live on and if you really want to free yourself from the burdens of employment and the hamster wheel, I'd suggest you've got two choices; 1. keep buying your lottery tickets and hoping that one day your numbers come up, or 2. take more control of your destiny and invest in some real professional training from the team at K2A, if you have the desire to succeed and the ability to learn a new skill, it will deliver results!
As you can tell, I am very glad I chose to invest in K2A's courses and I would recommend them to anyone who has the same desire for a better life.
There's a possibility that you could make a bit of money from the Knowledge to Action courses.
ReplyDeleteIf you spend about 30 grand with them on a series of courses and coaching and mentoring, you might make a few quid out of the markets.
However just doing their Trader's University 2k course won't do much for you at all. In fact you may as well get a couple of decent books, you'll learn more from them.
Overall KTA is an expensive, much-hyped slick sales machine designed to grub as much cash from you as they can.
It's all B.S - none of their traders is there own boss. They all work for Greg Secker.
My advice - avoid Knowledge to Action like the plague, there are loads of far better course providers out there.
