LASERGRADE AND ICC ANNOUNCE EXPANDED SERVICES AGREEMENT

Vancouver, WA - August 15, 2006 LaserGrade and the International Code Council (ICC) announced today that they have signed a new delivery agreement. Under this agreement, LaserGrade will expand applicant processing services for ICC test candidates. LaserGrade has delivered computer-based testing on ICC’s behalf for 5 years in LaserGrade’s secure, proctored test centers throughout the United States. The new agreement means that ICC candidates for several contracting licenses will now contact LaserGrade directly for all of their registration and testing needs including fee collection, ADA processing, demographic information collection, exam challenge administration, candidate eligibility screening and more.

LaserGrade is pleased to now offer this expanded offering to all of its customers, beginning with ICC. Mark Setash, President and CEO of LaserGrade stated, “We’re excited to offer expanded services but we’re even more pleased that ICC will be the inaugural user. ICC is a very forward-thinking organization that has grown significantly in recent years. We’re fortunate to be growing with them.”

Jeff Blake, Vice President of Operations of LaserGrade, added, “ICC really led us into expanding our services. Starting today we will be providing a variety of services to ICC candidates that were previously completed by ICC employees. This frees them up to do more important tasks and makes the licensing process simpler for ICC test-candidates.”

Dave Nelson, ICC’s Vice President, Certification and Testing agreed, stating “We wanted to simplify the process for our candidates. It makes sense that they make inquiries and receive information from the same source where they schedule and ultimately complete their computer-based testing. LaserGrade’s network of secure test centers has been a good fit for our customers. At ICC we’re always looking to provide the most quality and efficient testing experience for all candidates. Expanding the services that LaserGrade provides helps us to continue this tradition.”
