Press Release Body = Denver, CO. Oct. 24, 2006 - Teleologic Learning Company, in
partnership with the Institute for Preventive Strategies at The Center for Rural
Development in Somerset, KY was awarded the bronze medal in the prestigious Brandon
Hall Excellence in Learning Awards. This program sets the bar for excellence in
web-based education and training world-wide. More than 630 e-learning experts from
44 countries judged the competition, rating each entry on the interactivity, level
of engagement, and presentation of material. The Prevention Certificate competed
against e-learning leaders from around the globe, including companies such as
Microsoft, Adobe, A.S.K. Learning and CISCO.

Competing in the 'Custom Content' category, the 'Homeland Security Terrorism
Prevention Certificate for Law Enforcement Professionals' is a simulation-based
training program for first responders that focuses on threat recognition, risk
management, and prevention. Participants enter the virtual jurisdiction of 'San
Luis Rey' and attempt to uncover and neutralize threats to the community by
collaborating with other local officials to gather intelligence, manage the risks,
and make decisions to thwart the terrorist plot. Failure to master preventive
concepts results in realistic catastrophic outcomes in this virtual world.

About the Course
The Terrorism Prevention Certificate challenges first responders in law enforcement
to think beyond their traditional response and recovery training to take on the role
of First Preventer. The National Strategy for Homeland Security identifies
prevention as the key policy for protecting the United States from terrorist
attacks. However, this broad policy has not been translated into practical
guidelines that every first responder can use to detect and stop attacks before they
occur.

The Terrorism Prevention Certificate fills a training void. Engaging with highly
interactive, realistic, decision-based simulations, participants make difficult
choices that carry consequences as they work to counter a realistic terrorist threat
developing in the virtual San Louis Rey jurisdiction. After successfully completing
the course, participants are prepared to build prevention capacity at the local
level that is consistent with national strategic policy.

Lonnie Lawson, President & CEO of The Center for Rural Development, commented, "We
are extremely excited about the training exercise and our partnership with
Teleologic. The responses we have received from our test market validate that this
award is well deserved. There is great value in collaborating for the common good."

Philip Palin, CEO of Teleologic Learning Company, said, \"Teleologic has valued the
opportunity to work with the Institute for Preventive Strategies to design and
develop this innovative approach to learning. The best learning often happens when
we make mistakes. In dealing with terrorism it is clearly better to make mistakes in
a realistic online exercise than in dealing with the real threat.\"
