POSO Prosoft Learning (MM)

Prosoft Learning Corp. (NASDAQ: POSO), a technology learning solutions provider and a leader in workforce development, today announced that BreakThru Training Solutions (BTS), a leading provider of hands-on technical training for outside plant, central office, fiber optics and IT/networking technologies, has become an affiliate for the CTP (Convergence Technologies Professional) certification program. Under the terms of the affiliation agreement, BTS will promote hands-on convergence technologies training programs to enable students to prepare for the CTP exam. BTS will also promote and recommend selected Prosoft CTP materials to enhance its own hands-on convergence training. These Prosoft materials include the official CTP Exam Study Guide and CTP AssessPREP, the official CTP test-preparation tool. BTS will promote Prosoft's CTP certification materials and the official CTP exam to its customers via the BTS Web site, catalogs, e-mail newsletters and one-page informational inserts included in its student kits. Endorsed by industry leaders like Avaya, Cisco and Toshiba, the CTP program fulfills a critical need for integrated telephony, networking and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) skills. It especially appeals to students who need to upgrade their skill sets to encompass these increasingly required competencies. Benjamin Fink, president and CEO of Prosoft, said of the affiliate agreement with BTS, "The CTP certification could not ask for a more respected group of industry sponsors. Now we are creating the best distribution channel possible, aligning CTP with those training institutions that deliver the most comprehensive instruction to their students. We are delighted that a top-notch provider such as BTS is getting behind the program." Christopher Kehoe, director of training and development for BTS, stated, "CTP is the missing link in today's training environment. This certification is extremely vital for keeping today's field, support and management personnel all on the same page. As telecommunications and data communications have converged over the years, it is essential to have personnel on both ends to be familiar, comfortable and confident in working together to produce excellent performance and support services in today's marketplace. This CTP certification program provides a proven foundation and rules out the levels of inconsistencies in training across the board. Our alliance with Prosoft allows us to offer official certification preparation materials in addition to our hands-on classes in order to ensure consistency in the convergence field." The CTP program, owned by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that certifies mastery of the skills required to sell, install or support integrated voice, data and video technologies such as VoIP. Prosoft Learning Corp. acts as the program manager for the CTP certification and has created the Official CTP Curriculum. About Prosoft Learning Corp.
