The word knowledge is non-countable a noun and does not have a plural form
Knowledge (like math), does not have a plural form in North American English.
Knowledge is uncountable.
However, I know in "Indian English" people say "homeworks". It's not wrong there, but my spell check is underlining it, because in North American English a lot of "school subjects" are uncountable nouns. "I take math classes" (literally "classes of math". I try to gain as much knowledge as I can. So knowledge doesn't have a plural form (like cattle). I mean you can USE it AS a plural, but it doesn't take on a new form. So short answer no. If you want one, you could use "expertise" or studies, or maybe competencies or skills, depending on the context.
