Press Release Summary = The first of a series of COBIT Train-the-Trainer events
kicks off in Rotterdam this week

Press Release Body = Rotterdam, June 10, 2007
Delivering on its commitment to raise the bar in best practice training, ITpreneurs
conducts the first in a series of COBIT Train-the-Trainer (TTT) events in Rotterdam
this week. In this first TTT event under ITpreneurs' comprehensive Trainer
Certification Program (TCP), 20 trainers from across Europe and the Middle East will
be trained to deliver ITpreneurs' COBIT Foundation CourseT. The second TTT training
will be hosted in New York City from June 25 to June 29, and other TTT events will
be announced shortly.

ITpreneurs TCP, launched in May 2007, is taught by black belt trainers from
ITpreneurs' global trainer network. Brian Childers, from Atlanta, Georgia, will lead
the TTT event in Rotterdam. Brian is an ITpreneurs black belt trainer and recognized
expert in the IT governance domain.

Trainers participating in the event will receive in-depth training on delivering
ITpreneurs' COBIT range of training courses, which are co-developed with ISACA® and
ITGI®, the owners of the COBIT framework. ITpreneurs is the only content provider in
the industry that sources COBIT training content directly from the source ―
ISACA and ITGI.

On the first 3 days of the event, the trainers will undergo the full COBIT
Foundation Training course with the COBIT GamesT. On the 4th and 5th days, trainers
will go into more depth and learn how to deliver the course for optimal results.
They will also receive special training on how to prepare their students for passing
the COBIT Foundation exam. Throughout the course, interactive case studies and the
COBIT Games are used for maximum retention and to inject an element of fun and
excitement into the training.

Commenting on ITpreneurs' TCP, Julie Mohr, ITpreneurs black belt trainer and author
of "The Help Desk Audit: Blueprint for Success," says "There is nothing worse than
hearing from the students that a course they have taken was a disaster - 'The
instructor that initially provided the first course was awesome, but subsequent
instructors were not of the same caliber of expertise.' The TCP program is very
robust, ensuring that instructors demonstrate their abilities and if not up to
standards for delivery, they have an individual plan for improvement based upon
their unique needs. I think this is a necessity to ensure quality delivery across
the board in the COBIT framework. It's like applying a robust control framework to
the training accreditation process!"

within the organizations they support. The course helps the professionals understand
how COBIT can be used in a logical and understandable manner and validates this
knowledge through assessments and quizzes. The course includes an Exam Preparation
module, which prepares the participants to take on the official ISACA COBIT
Foundation exam.
