THE EDCOMM GROUP OFFERS “TRY-IT-FREE-FOR-3” FREE 3-MONTH COMPLIANCE TRAINING SOLUTION TO BANKS

(NEW YORK, NY) – May 18, 2006

Dr. Linda Eagle, President of The Edcomm Group, announces “Try-It-Free-For-3,” a promotion aimed at all banks to try Edcomm’s Focus on Compliance training program free for three months.

“These days there’s not a bank around that can afford to be without excellent compliance training, along with tracking and reporting,” said Eagle. “The people need it. The auditors demand it. And the regulators require it.”

“With ‘Try-It-Free-For-3,’ Edcomm is providing an immediate, risk-free, proven solution. We will give any bank our comprehensive compliance training program, Focus on Compliance, along with our full-featured Learning Management System, Learning Link®, for three months for an unlimited number of employees. No cost. No commitment. No obligation. No catch.”

According to Eagle, at the end of three months, the decision to continue with Focus on Compliance through Edcomm’s Banker’s Academy is at the bank’s discretion.

Eagle said, “If they want to continue, we sign them up for a year. No long-term contracts required. Banks stay with our training programs because of the excellence of the training and the service we provide, not because of a contractual bind.”

Focus on Compliance, a computer-based, distance-learning program, can be delivered via Internet, Intranet or CD-ROM. The program teaches banking compliance using easy-to-understand language in an interactive, self-paced format. Participants learn from their own perspective, with a curriculum customized to their position. Focus on Compliance covers: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC, Privacy, Reg P, Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, Right to Financial Privacy, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Reg CC & Check 21, Reg D, Reg E, Reg Z, Truth in Lending, FCRA, FACT Act, HMDA, CRA, and Bank Bribery, among others. The program also includes a quick reference guide to all banking regulations, as well as a glossary of terms and a library of reference materials.
Learning Link®, Edcomm’s state-of-the-art learning management system has an open architecture that builds on industry-standard SCORM and AICC compliance, but adds features and capabilities far beyond any competing products. Learning Link® maintains a complete record of every learning and administrative activity and offers a wide variety of customizable, real-time reports available both onscreen and in CSV formats for download and integration into any HR system.
