Princeton Learning Systems Adds Intuition Publishing To Financial Services University.

PRINCETON, NJ--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1999--Princeton Learning Systems (PLS) has announced the addition of Intuition Publishing to its Financial Services University (FSU), an online continuing education service for the financial services industry.

Intuition Publishing is a premier provider of financial training products delivered via the Internet, company Intranet and CD-ROM. With 500 titles targeted to financial professionals around the world, Intuition will greatly expand PLS offerings on its "virtual campus." Already, FSU provides the industry with more than 1,000 online and offline courses and exams related to the insurance, banking, brokerage and mutual fund fields.

"Intuition's extensive product line will enable us to meet the growing demand for expert international financial training," says Steve Haase, principal and executive vice president of PLS. "Bringing Intuition on board also increases the value proposition of our entire FSU product."

FSU is a customizable "virtual university" that incorporates training programs and tests from leading training publishers and delivers them to financial industry firms, employees and consumers on a web-based platform. It is designed to train, test and track continuing education, compliance and ongoing professional development via the Internet and internal corporate Intranet systems. Subscribing companies can customize the FSU package with any special requirements, such as corporate identification, internal training and policy issues, programs, sales literature, or customer and employee surveys. Among other benefits, the virtual university is designed to eliminate the need for costly and logistically demanding "site-based" employee testing.

"We're extremely excited to be able to offer our course material to a wider audience through Princeton Learning Systems and Financial Services University," says Paul Tebsherany, vice president of sales at Intuition Publishing. "Our course content and design strengths, together with PLS' clientele and distribution channels, will make this a beneficial relationship for everyone involved...especially FSU client companies."
