NOVELL LAUNCHES TRAINING PROMOTION

One-day First Class Training Provides Introduction to Smooth NetWare 4.1
Migration

OREM, UTAH--July 5, 1995--Spurred by customer interest in migrating to its
NetWare 4.1 network operating system, Novell is launching First Class, an
introductory training promotion that will be held at participating Novell
Authorized Education Centers (NAECs) around the world. Network
administrators and other networking service providers attending First
Class will receive a one-day hands-on introduction to installing,
administering, and managing a NetWare 4.1 network. Cost for attending
NetWare 4.1: First Class is only US$49. NAECs will kick off First Class
training days on September 11, 1995 and may continue to offer the one-day
course through October 31, 1995.

First Class launches in conjunction with Novell's NetWare 4.1 upgrade
promotion, which provides a 20% discount on upgrades to NetWare 4.1
through October 31, 1995. First Class is designed to encourage upgrades
through a high-level understanding of the product. Novell's promotional
efforts supporting First Class and the NetWare 4.1 upgrade include a
direct mail campaign, internet and print advertising, and information
packets sent to users calling in to Novell for more details.

"First Class gives NetWare service providers a unique opportunity to get an
effective, hands-on preview of NetWare 4.1 at minimal cost," said Jerry S.
Christensen, Director of Business Development at Novell Education. "For
NAECs, the cost is also minimal, as Novell assumes the promotional efforts
on behalf of our authorized training channel. Everyone wins with First
Class--especially the customers."

First Class will be taught in NAECs by Certified Novell Instructors (CNIs),
with an emphasis on hands-on learning. First Class will expose network
administrators and service providers to the ease of NetWare 4.1 migration,
installation, and administration. As a special introductory course,
however, First Class will not count toward CNE or Certified Novell
Administrator (CNA) certification or curriculum testing. Network
administrators and service providers do not have to be certified to attend
First Class, but should be experienced with NetWare 3 or NetWare 2. Those
interested in attending First Class should call (800) 883-2271 or (612)
831-2429.

NOVELL EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE

Novell Education's mission is to drive global pervasive computing through
quality education programs and products. Since 1987, Novell has pioneered
a leveraged model for providing training. Today, Novell training partners
around the globe provide instructor-led training and other self-study
options to student customers. Novell Authorized Education Centers in North
America also offer distance learning via satellite. In 1995, Novell's
1,300 Novell training partners will teach three quarters of a million
student customers.

In addition to innovating the leveraged education model, Novell Education
has also pioneered certification in the information technology area with
its industry-leading programs. CNEs are the global standard for servicing
and supporting networking and network applications; CNAs are the global
standard for administering networking and network applications; and CNIs
are the global standard for teaching networking and network applications.
Currently, there are more than 60,000 CNEs, as well as 90,000 CNEs "in
progress." There are 4,700-plus Enterprise CNEs (ECNEs), more than 50,000
CNAs and more than 3,000 CNIs. Student customers are already in progress
for two new Novell Education certification programs that are scheduled to
come on line later this year--the Master CNE (September 30, 1995) and the
Novell Productivity Specialist (August 1, 1995).
