CIBT Further Expands in the Philippines

VANCOUVER, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - CIBT Education Group Inc. (AMEX:
MBA; TSX.V: MBA) is pleased to report that the Company has signed a
cooperation agreement with Far Eastern University (FEU), one of the largest
healthcare universities in the Philippines.
The cooperation agreement allows CIBT and Sprott Shaw Degree College
(collectively "CIBT") to establish a CIBT Education Center within the
facilities of Far Eastern University in Manila. The Center will teach Resident
Care Attendant and Practical Nursing programs using Sprott-Shaw's curriculum.
Students enrolled in these courses will have full access to all clinical
facilities, dormitory and other student services available at FEU. All courses
will be taught in English, which will ultimately prepare the students to seek
working opportunities in the international health care community. CIBT will
assist graduates in seeking employment opportunities in the healthcare sector
in Canada and the United States.
In addition, private hospitals in China are desperately looking for English
speaking and western qualified workers. CIBTs regional headquarters in China
will assist future graduates to apply for these positions in Asia and North
America. CIBT will also assist pre-qualified candidates in preparing for
licensing exams in Canada.
"We are excited to have established this location in the Philippines, which is
another step towards realizing our vision of expanding CIBT and Sprott-Shaw's
presence throughout Asia," commented Toby Chu, Vice-Chairman and CEO of CIBT
Education Group. "China and most parts of Asia are experiencing significant
growth, the baby boomer generation is aging and the standard of living is
improving. These factors are driving the healthcare industry, which is
expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. Our continued initiatives
and introduction to expand Canadian healthcare training to emerging countries
are receiving significant interest in Asia."
"This partnership with Sprott Shaw is a step toward fulfilling the
University's vision of preparing health care workers who are globally
competent while recognizing the fact that baccalaureate level training is not
the right path for everyone," commented Annabelle Borromeo, Dean of the School
of Nursing at FEU. "Those who choose the vocational approach, due to various
reasons, are given the opportunity and the world-class training to accomplish
their life's goals through this program of partnership with Sprott-Shaw."
