Computer Learning Centers Strengthens Senior Management Team as John L. Corse Joins Company as President & Chief Operating Officer.

FAIRFAX, VA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 3, 1998--Computer Learning Centers, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market: CLCX) ("CLC"), a provider of information technology ("IT") and computer-related education and training, today announced that John L. Corse has joined the Company as President and Chief Operating Officer effective November 3, 1998. Mr. Corse will assume an active role in managing CLC's United States and Canadian Learning Center operations and in overseeing the Company's regulatory and compliance activities.

Mr. Corse, 56, brings more than 30 years of executive management expertise to CLC, where he has served as a Director since October 1994. Mr. Corse previously served as President of Hughes Advanced Systems, a subsidiary of Hughes Aircraft Company and a provider of aerospace and information systems and services to government and industry. Prior to this, he was President of Security Software America, a packaged software publisher that served government contractors and agencies in the administrative control of classified material and related security activities. Before this, Mr. Corse served for five years as President of Planning Research Corporation's Business Information Systems Group. In conjunction with his appointment, Mr. Corse has stepped down as a member of CLC's Compensation Committee.

Reid R. Bechtle, Chief Executive Officer of CLC, commented, "We welcome John to CLC and are thrilled that he was available to assume these dual roles. The continued growth of our operations and CLC's emergence as a leading provider of IT education and training necessitated the addition of an executive with the insight and business experience that John possesses. The consolidation of various responsibilities under John via this corporate structure, which dictated that he assume the role of COO as well as President, has, we believe, strengthened our executive infrastructure while maintaining a lean, responsive management team."

Mr. Bechtle continued, "We have benefited from John's counsel as a member of our Board for more than four years and believe that his intimate understanding of our business operations and corporate culture will provide a quick and seamless transition to his new role. We feel that John's appointment, coupled with the continued fine work of the rest of our executive management team, will be a tremendous asset as we continue to expand our industry presence."

Mr. Corse commented, "I am very pleased to be joining CLC's executive management team at a time when the demand for IT workers - a projected 1.3 million between 1996 and 2006 - is increasing so rapidly. We believe that CLC provides an outstanding value to its students by training more than 12,000 career-minded individuals annually for well-paying, entry-level IT career opportunities. While we are proud of our success to date, I believe that there exists a great opportunity for CLC to continue to grow. It is my goal to increase the number of students we serve while maintaining the highest educational and service standards."
