Press Release Summary: Philadelphia, PA - John McDevitt Sr. and John McDevitt Jr.,
residents of the Lawndale section of Northeast Philadelphia, have the distinct honor
of becoming the first father and son Students of the Month at CTS's Computer
Training School, located at 7718 Castor Avenue.

Press Release Body: In May, John Jr., age 37, was searching the Internet for an
economical way to learn computers to add to his resume for meaningful employment.
His father John Sr., age 73, accompanied him to the interview at CTS\'s Computer Lab
and realized that he, too, could train for better home computing skills.

Once their training started early June, both father and son excelled quickly to earn
CTS\'s Students of the Month Award which is normally given to one student. Even
though John Sr. is the oldest student in a class of 10, he maintained the highest
grade average for June and July. This was the first time in the 12 years of CTS's
student awards that a father-son team received it.

Community Technical Service\'s computer courses are highly technical but easy to
follow for any age adult. The McDevitts have proven that hard works pays. The
Student of the Month Award is a prestigious award at Community Technical Service.

In finishing one quarter of a 12 week course, both father and son can identify a
good computer system from a mediocre one, understand how a computer\'s hardware and
software\'s function, and how to work effectively in the Windows Operating System.
Once the McDevitts finish their computer training course in September, they both
will be highly proficient with the basic skills in Microsoft Office, Email and the
Internet. Many employers in today's workforce are looking for these skills.

According to John Sr., "Before starting at CTS, my computer skills were limited to
say the least. I envied the younger generation who seem to be born with innate
computer abilities. My goal was to navigate a computer with a minimum of
aggravation. After six classes I am very confident that I will be competent at the
end of the course."

"The training at CTS is presented in a very understandable manner and covers every
aspect; I can see that I'm learning the skills necessary to advance my earning
capacity. My goals are to be able to fully use every computer function necessary to
compete in today's high-tech environment. I highly recommend CTS and know that my
tuition investment will bring great dividends," McDevitt Jr. concluded.

The owner of CTS Computer Training, April Johnson, states "It is the responsibility
of every adult who wishes to use technology for Home, Business, or Employment
purposes to do his very best to be trained properly to become competitive. Our
responsibility is to provide our clients with the necessary computer skills to reach
their goals at minimal cost."
