LASERGRADE WINS NEW CONTRACT WITH CERTIFICATION BOARD FOR STERILE PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION, INC.

Vancouver, Washington - LaserGrade today announced that it has signed a new contract with the Certification Board For Sterile Processing and Distribution, Inc. (CBSPD) to administer their five levels of professional certification examinations. LaserGrade will convert CBSPD's paper and pencil examinations to computer-based examinations. Beginning in October '06 all CBSPD examinations will be delivered nationwide via LaserGrade's secure network of test centers. LaserGrade, with nearly 1,000 computer-based test centers across the United States and Canada, plus 30 international sites, is the largest United States owned and operated network in North America.

The Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution, Inc. (CBSPD) is a non-profit Certification Board which plans, develops and administers competency-based certification examinations for personnel performing cleaning, disinfection, sterilization and inventory management activities.

LaserGrade is very proud to be delivering the prestigious CBSPD assessments in our secure proctored network of test centers," said Judith Moore, President and CEO of LaserGrade. "Through the use of computer-based testing we look forward to providing increased test security, better and more flexible access, better technology and enhanced customer service for CBSPD candidates. LaserGrade is always proud and honored to be working with organizations, like CBSPD, that set standards to protect public health and safety."

Nancy Chobin, Executive Director of CBSPD, stated "We are delighted to have such a capable and experienced company as LaserGrade build our computer-based examinations. LaserGrade has been delivering computer-based tests for more than 10 years and really understands our needs. Our program has been designed to comply with the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, which are the highest in the industry. In addition, the CBSPD program is NCCA accredited. LaserGrade's expertise in the industry will help us maintain these high standards. It is a very exciting time for our candidates who will now be able to test via computer at a secure, proctored and conveniently located test center. The best of brand has just become better."

The CBSPD examinations will be provided during "windows" four times a year to better serve our clients. The windows for 2006-2007 are as follows:

October 16-21, 2006
February 19-24, 2007
May 7-12, 2007
August 6-11, 2007
November 5-10, 2007

The "window" means that the candidate can test anytime during the "window"; no longer will a candidate have to take the exam on a Saturday; they have choices now.

In addition, an "unofficial" score will be given at the completion of the exam. A final official score will be mailed to the candidates two weeks after the exam to allow for a quality assurance process to be performed with psychometric analysis to verify results.

Laser Grade offers over 1,000 test sites which offers much more availability for CBSPD clients as well. Visit the Laser Grade website to learn more (www.lasergrade.com) about their site locations.

The international examinations will remain paper pencil for the time being and still be offered twice a year.

New application forms and Candidate Bulletins will be available from the CBSPD after July 5th, 2006. Visit the CBSPD webpage after that time for further information about practice computer tests, etc.
