KeyStone Learning Systems™ Selects Self Test Software as its Practice Test Provider
Keystone students are now one step closer to getting certified with the aid of Self Test Software's 100+ Practice Tests

ATLANTA, GA, January 18, 2002 - Self Test Software, the company that created the first certification practice tests for IT professionals, announced today that KeyStone Learning Systems™, a GlobalLearningSystems™ company and the leading provider of self-paced information technology training, is including Self Test practice tests in its comprehensive IT courseware.

"For more than 10 years IT professionals have come to rely upon the value, flexibility, and reliability of KeyStone courseware," said Curt Selz, KeyStone product marketing manager. "It's critical for high-tech learners to be able to assess how well they comprehend the concepts taught during training. There simply isn't a better provider of certification preparation exams than Self Test Software."

KeyStone Learning Systems' decision to include Self Test's practice tests was due in large part to Self Test's recognition in the industry as an authorized and/or endorsed practice test by the leading certification vendors including Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Novell, Lotus and CIW. As an active CompTIA member, Self Test is a Training Program Provider for the A+, Network+ and i-Net+ certifications and sits on the advisory committees for both the Server+ and Linux+ certification programs.

Self Test's 100+ certification practice tests simulate the look and feel of the real certification exam. Navigating through the user's knowledge of the exam's objectives, Self Test's products identify the user's weaknesses and strengths, and allowing efficient focus on exam preparation. Since Self Test Software developed its first practice test in 1992, more than a half a million people worldwide have used the company's practice tests to prepare for technology certification.

"KeyStone is known for high quality, well organized instructional materials," said Craig Callaway, President of Self Test Software, "and the company has a history of providing effective learning tools using knowledgeable instructors who are effective communicators and provide real world examples. KeyStone's self paced study materials and our practice tests allow the students to study, learn and test themselves on their own schedule, when they can take time to learn and practice. We are both pleased and honored to be partnering with KeyStone."
