May 23, 2006

Des Moines, Iowa (May 23, 2006) HR Classroom, a provider of online training services, has released a new compliance training for Customs - Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). C-TPAT is a unique effort that has been jointly developed by U.S. Customs and the trade community to increase security in the global supply chain specifically on commerce coming into the U.S.

"Our new C-TPAT training covers the specific security criteria elements for suppliers, transportation providers, and U.S. importers that are designed to eliminate potential security risks in the global supply chain," notes Paul Curtis, president of Curtis Communications (parent company of HR Classroom). "The training helps employers acquaint their staff on how C-TPAT works, and what their responsibilities are. As with other HR Classroom trainings, employers can fully document trainee activity."

The HR Classroom compliance training system delivers content via a Web browser to almost any Internet-connected computer. HR Classroom allows companies with multiple locations to provide compliance training easily and regularly, in a cost-effective manner. Trainings can also be tailored to include the organization's policy. Over 75,000 employees throughout North America are trained annually using HR Classroom.

In addition to the training mentioned above, HR Classroom provides a full line of employee legal compliance training, including Sexual Harassment Prevention, Diversity, and many others.
