Strategic partnership to expand reach in blended and e-learning markets.

BARCELONA, SPAIN – October 21, 2001 – GTSLearning plc, a leading provider of IT courseware content, has today announced a partnership at CompTIA’s Strategies 2001, with California-based KT Solutions, Inc. ("KT") to integrate KT's technology-based training modules with GTSLearning's CD-based products.

The first products resulting from this agreement are launched at Strategies 2001 and include a series of CD-based, self-paced training materials for professional IT qualifications. Each title includes comprehensive course content (as used in the instructor-led titles) that is dynamically linked to KT's modules. The TBT modules include high-quality animations, voiceover narration and additional reference information.

KT Solutions will also provide TBT content for delivery as part of GTSLearning's new hosted platform for web-based training. Initially, on-line courses incorporating TBT modules for A+ Certification will be offered, with a rolling program to launch further integrated e-learning courses.

GTSLearning and KT are also working to develop new multimedia courses for other IT products.

"We are constantly seeking new ways of helping the learner achieve their goals. By entering this strategic relationship with KT, we can bring dynamic new products to the market much quicker than before" said Robin Adda, Managing Director of GTSLearning plc.

"KT have developed some impressive resources that will benefit the student during and after class. We are also excited to announce that KT Solutions content will be used to enhance our new e-learning platform" he added.

"GTSLearning have impressed us for some time with their global distribution model and quality classroom products and support solutions" said Chris Ryan, KT's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

"We are delighted to have struck this deal and look forward to working with GTSLearning on new products that will demonstrate our mutual capabilities".
