I'm finding it rather difficult in Illustrator because I can't work as precisely as I can with Photoshop.
Thanks for the criticism.

I'm probably nitpicking here (but then again, that's what kerning is) but the example provided isn't really a kerning issue but rather a letterspacing issue.
Yes, the terms are fuzzy and one could swap them it seems, but I think it's important to try and see the conceptual differences as they really are two different questions:
1) Should this typeface be letterspaced to this extent in this context?
If so...
2) Do it, and now let's look at the kerning issues.
IMHO, the example fails question #1 , so getting to issues of kerning is less likely.
I would sugest to move W-O and K-S pairs 1px closer. I think font is fine.
Your kerning is fine (the S might need one more pixel to the right), but the font doesn't really work for the design (looks like Helvetica). Perhaps try another sans-serif or slab-serif typeface and experiment with both thin and bold fonts. Some resources you can refer to for inspiration: FontFont, FontSquirrel and Adobe Type. Experiment, experiment, experiment. Good luck!
