VCampus Corporation (OTCBB:VCMP.OB), owner of Prosoft Learning and the CIW certification, today announced that U.S. veterans can now use their Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits to cover CIW (Certified Internet Web Professional) examination fees for 12 various CIW certification exams. The VA education benefits are effective retroactively to June 1, 2005. Veterans eligible for benefits through the Montgomery G.I. Bill (Chapter 30), the Veterans Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 32), and the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 35) can submit proof of their exam results and fee payment to the VA for reimbursement of the CIW exam fees, currently $125 per exam. Eligibility applies regardless of the number of exams taken or retaken, and includes exams taken for certification renewal and those taken in foreign countries. The benefit is still valid even if an individual does not pass the exam. The CIW exams are part of CIW's comprehensive Information Technology (IT) training and certification program focused on Web technologies and specific job roles, with vendor-neutral knowledge and skills covering multiple hardware and software platforms and vendors. "CIW certification can offer thousands of veterans new opportunities by validating the IT skills they need to compete in today's job market," said Nat Kannan, chairman and CEO of VCampus. "With more than 80,000 CIW certificate holders worldwide, U.S. veterans can assert their value by proving they have the skills employers require. The Internet has become a part of everyday life throughout the world, so employers need workers who have strong Internet technology skills and knowledge. CIW helps employers to ensure they hire the best talent available. As one of the few IT certifications approved by the VA for education reimbursement, CIW again proves its worth as a job-role certification program." VCampus also serves veterans through its contract with Amer Technology Inc. to support VA Learning Online (VALO). Under this multiyear contract, VCampus provides an online learning environment that makes courses, including VCampus' certification preparation and other courses from its library, readily available to approximately 225,000 VA employees at all VA locations. Under the terms of the VALO contract, VCampus has the right to expand the audience for the courses that are provided to include volunteers, medical residents, and veterans who are engaged in official VA programs. VCampus estimates that this expanded audience for VCampus' services is in excess of 450,000 people.

In 2005 alone, the VA helped pay for the education or training of more than 336,000 veterans and active-duty personnel, 87,000 reservists and National Guard troops and 74,000 survivors. VA education programs, which pay eligible veterans up to $1,034 a month while they are attending school, are a key inducement the military uses to entice recruits. More than 500,000 veterans and eligible dependents use VA education benefits.
