Student Testimonials

Nilakshika Perera
Marketing for Stakeholders World Prize Winner Dec 2008

I was overjoyed to hear that I have won the world prize for Stake holder marketing assignment in December 2008. It was challenging to sit for a subject in the new syllabus for the first time after introduction. I think I have proved that success comes by hard work and clear, expert guidance. I have won this award because of the excellent direction given by my study center-The knowledge factory. TKF has a unique and friendly environment with interactive lecture sessions. We are permitted to clarify our doubts from the lecturer at any given time & they assist us to achieve to the best of our capabilities. Studying at TKF is one of the best experiences I’ve had.

Tanya Goonewardene (1A,1B and 2C's Post Grad Diploma Dec 2008)

“All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved” This quote by Sun Tzu encapsulates the feat to be achieved when you have reached CIM stage 3. It is no longer about tactics and its all about strategy. Apparently it is much easier to know the best way to get something done and harder to know exactly what to do. It is apt to describe CIM stage 3 as chaotic – the demands made on you are beyond challenging, the time to meet them is scarce, and the price to pay is high. The most intense level of pressure is to be expected. However by no means a cake walk it is a satisfying experience to feel completely prepared to meet these challenges. TKF is not a place you go to, it is a sub culture that you enter. It provides you with a professional environment that facilitates learning in a fun, energetic and challenging fashion. From the warm reception, to the committed teaching, to the minor staff eager to be of service it is a superior experience. At TKF we received a thorough training; we were mentored to develop the tools to face the marketing warfare that has left us with nothing but words of praise towards the institute and its mentors. I salute their dedication, enthusiasms and achievements.Thank you for forever changing my perspective of marketing.


Ram Gomathinayegam (2 A's 2 C's Stage one Dec 2008)

TKF’s open, friendly culture fosters a strong communication between students & lecturers step by step program of learning ensures timely completion of entire syllabus well ahead of the exams. Their exceptional revision & challenging mock exams have contributed in “confident & exam ready” students. Effective study tips, examination tips and assignment planning tips throughout the course help students to implement ‘best practice’ measures in our preparation for exams. TKF has a committed panel of lecturers who believe that education is not just derived from the classroom but also away from it.

CIM Diploma

“I chose to do my CIM Diploma at TKF for two reasons:the first is the learning experience. The second, the most important reason, is the center’s reputation as a centre of excellence for the CIM qualifications. Doing an evening class after a long day at work can be hard, but I sincerely do not notice the late time due to my tutors, who as well as being extremely knowledgeable, are very animated on the topic of marketing .”
