Fully integrated blend of content, assessments and live mentoring.

LONDON, ENGLAND – 16 April 2002 – GTSLearning plc, a leading provider of IT courseware content, has launched a new interactive self-study solution for CompTIA's A+ Certification.

Forming part of the gtslearning range of LearnIT self-study products, this new A+ Certification kit will help self-study students with little or no computer experience to prepare for the two A+ Certification exams. The package includes complete content for three courses: PC Fundamentals (gtslearning's unique A+ Certification primer for beginners), A+ Certification Hardware and A+ Certification Software, all presented in an easy-to-navigate style.

The course content is dynamically linked to further learning resources in the shape of fully interactive TBT modules (for hardware and software), the PC Guide support encyclopaedia and assessment tests. The package also includes a "Getting started with self study guide", comprehensive review tests and assessments, glossary plus hundreds of Internet links to useful support sites. LearnIT A+ Certification is available in two formats: CD ROM with Getting Started Guide; and CD ROM with Getting Started Guide and full set of A+ Certification Hardware and Software course manuals.

Significantly, from June 2000 the LearnIT A+ Certification CD will also be provided with gtslearning’s new live mentoring service. This provides students with 24x7 access for one year to "live" tutors who are fully conversant with the course, student chat and other useful online support resources.

Robin Adda, Managing Director of gtslearning plc said: “We believe that our new A+ Self Study offering is probably the best all-round distance learning solution for candidates preparing for A+ Certification."

"The unique provision of mentoring gives the student access to a "live" A+ certified instructor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which is what true self study should be all about. The addition of TBT study modules also means that the students have a blend of learning methodology – mentored courseware with knowledge assessment and access to technical resources. This product widens the choice and increases the effectiveness of the learning."

The LearnIT A+ Certification CD is available to order now with the complete on-line mentoring service coming on stream in June 2002.
