NOVELL'S YOUNGEST, FASTEST-GROWING CERTIFICATION REACHES 50,000 CERTIFIED
NOVELL ADMINISTRATOR (CNA) PROGRAM GROWING BY 10,000 A QUARTER

May 25, 1995--Orem, Utah--Novell, Inc. reached a significant milestone
today when it announced the certification of its 50,000th Certified Novell
Administrator (CNA), the front-line support professionals who perform
administrative tasks and basic network troubleshooting. Growing at the
rate of more than 10,000 a quarter, Novell's two-and-one-half-year-old CNA
program is the company's fastest growing certification program; Fiona
Desruisseaux of Ottawa, Canada is Novell's 50,000th CNA.

"The phenomenal growth of this certification worldwide attests to the
success of CNAs in increasing literacy on Novell products," said Jerry
Christensen, Director of Business Development for Novell Education. "CNAs
provide the front-line expertise required to support small, medium, and
large businesses. Together with Certified Novell Engineers, Certified
Novell Administrators are key to Novell Education and Novell Inc.'s
corporate support model." CNAs set the global standard for administering
networking and network applications. They play a key role in building the
global pervasive computing infrastructure by ensuring that end users have
the day-to-day networking and administration support they need.

50,000 CNA PERSPECTIVE

Fiona Desruisseaux, Novell's 50,000th CNA, completed her certification in
April, having successfully passed the CNA exam at Netvision, a Drake
Authorized Testing Center in Ottawa. A former end user herself,
Desruisseaux pursued her certification to help her learn more about "the
backbone" of computer systems. Relying on her CNA status, Desruisseaux is
now a self employed networking administration consultant.

"I selected the CNA certification because I knew I would have an easier
time establishing myself in this business if my expertise were in Novell
products," said Desruisseaux. "The training I received gave me a good
grounding in the fundamentals of networking. Those basics help me when
servicing any client--whether they are using Novell products or not."

HOLISTIC CERTIFICATION STRATEGY

The certification of the 50,000th CNA follows Novell's March announcement
of the 50,000th Certified Novell Engineer (CNE), Jan Schipper of Houten,
The Netherlands. CNAs and CNEs are part of Novell's holistic certification
strategy that supports networking and network application customers from
installation and maintenance to administration to the desktop.
