Offer Globally Recognized Programs

SOUTHPORT, CT/Lakewood CO. - June, 2004
Earning an edge in the very competitive global job market just got easier, thanks to a new partnership between the International Computer Driving License (ICDL) and Video Professor. The leader in software tutorials, Video Professor is offering on-line training and access to a free practice test for customers preparing to earn the ICDL, the world's leading computer literacy workforce credential. Video Professor is also selling the program to larger organizations such as schools, corporations and workforce development groups.

ICDL is the globally recognized credential that validates computer competency to employers. Used in more than 130 countries by more than 3.5 million people, ICDL is the testing standard for mastering basic computer skills, including word processing, file management, Internet and e-mail use, spreadsheets, presentations and databases. ICDL is not just for technical career workers; the seven module program measures individuals' computer competency skills for those who use computers at work as well as home.

Video Professor customers who purchase the ICDL on-line training for $89.95 receive a free registration as ICDL candidates, which gives them access to the practice test. In addition to simulating the feel of the real ICDL tests, the program shows customers in which areas they need more practice. Once they begin taking the ICDL tests, customers can track their progress and even print out a progress report for employers. Customers can earn their actual ICDL certification by taking the tests at an ICDL Authorized Testing Center.

Video Professor has long been recognized as the fastest, easiest way to learn any computer subject. ICDL' s approval of Video Professor's lessons only proves the point that Video Professor's content also meets the rigorous course content standards that allow their customers to gain the confidence of ICDL certification along with their studies.
