Our Story
The Knowledge Coop was born out of Ken Perry's desire to help Loan Officers and the mortgage industry serve customers while remaining compliant. He saw the opportunity to provide training and materials that are engaging and relevant while remaining fun. We have been there with the industry through the ups and downs, and we plan on continuing to provide training that goes above and beyond expectations.
