Exhibit 23.4

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors
GeoTrain Corporation

We consent to the use of our report dated March 2, 1999 with respect to the
consolidated balance sheet of GeoTrain Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable preferred stock
and stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1996, which report is
included in the Global Knowledge, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated
December 6, 2000 and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts"
in the prospectus. Our report dated March 2, 1999 contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that GeoTrain Corporation had suffered recurring losses
from operations, had a net working capital deficiency as well as a deficiency
in stockholders' equity and was in breach of a financial covenant on debt, that
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
