Knowledge Quest
Based in Tampa, Florida, Knowledge Quest Education offers a variety of training and professional development education services. When the company was founded in 2002, it focused on providing education services to corporate clients, but since then it has expanded to serve the needs of other student populations. In addition to its main corporate learning division, Knowledge Quest also now has a division devoted to K-12 at-risk youth learning; a Learning Alliance Program (which is a collaborative initiative with colleges and universities to provide further accreditation opportunities for Knowledge Quest students); and a division that provides digital learning services.
Knowledge Quest’s digital learning services are particularly attractive to students who are unable to attend classes in person. To ensure that their online offerings are as valuable as the rest of their services, the company has developed its PEPPER (Portal for Exemplary Practices and Peer Educational Resources) Suite. PEPPER also features portals for teachers and parents, which the company uses to promote communication and involvement in students' education.
