Based on the Survey (mentioned above), we now have a way for schools to add the NATEF End-of-Program test to their contracts. If this is a possibility for you, please contact IT help at IThelp@todaysclass.com. Keep in mind that NATEF testing continues through May 18, 2007 and there is still time to acquire the service. Please feel free to contact Technical Support with any questions regarding testing at ithelp@todaysclass.com or 1-877-224-0435 ext. 8309

The new standards of Perkins IV funding, include a requirement to serve rural schools that have little in the way of career-based programs. Melior is planning a program in Wyoming to facilitate a hub-and-spoke approach using online modules. How would this work?

| New Programs and Upgrades |
Today’s Class will be introducing a new automotive course module, Manual Transmissions, in fall, 2007.
