RESTON, VA (May 15, 2008) Learning Tree International (NASDAQ NM: LTRE) today added a new offering to its extensive IT Security curriculum with the addition of its latest course, Controlling Network Access. Over 4 days, an expert instructor will lead attendees through intensive hands-on exercises designed to provide practical experience in the application of access control methodology.

Participants will also receive instruction in how to:

• Secure enterprise networks using access control tools and best practices
