Pearson VUE Honors Veterans Day 2009 With the Launch of Military-Specific Certification Website

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
Pearson VUE, the leader in secure high-stakes testing, is pleased to announce
the launch of a new website www.certifyyourfuture.com in honor of Veterans Day,
Nov. 11, 2009. The launch of the new website marks the beginning of a year-long
campaign focused on raising awareness of certification and benefits available to
military personnel and their families.

The website, located at www.certifyyourfuture.com, is intended to act as a
resource and provide military personnel and their families accessible
information on certification and military-specific benefits that they may be
eligible for. The first phase of the new site features the benefits of pursuing
certification, testimonials, information about military-specific reimbursement
programs and direct links to register for exams. In the upcoming months, Pearson
VUE will continue to introduce new site features including video testimonials
and social networking tools.

"Pearson VUE has always prided itself on being a service based company and we
are excited to launch a campaign that continues to expand the level of service
we provide to military personnel and their families. We know the job
market-military and civilian-is more competitive than ever, but the education
benefits available to veterans and their families continue to grow. The right
resources are available to help military personnel and their families succeed
wherever their career may take them and we are excited to provide the tools that
make these resources more accessible," states Sue Jackson, Director of Market
Development Government and Military for Pearson VUE.

Pearson VUE offers IT certification and professional certification and licensure
exams worldwide. Service members and their families have access to hundreds of
exams at Pearson VUE/DANTES test sites and base-sponsored National Test Centers.
The Post-9/11 G.I. Bill went into effect earlier this year, changing and
expanding the education benefits available to military personnel and their
families who have served since Sept. 10, 2001. As Veterans Day approaches,
Pearson VUE encourages those who qualify to take advantage of this program.
