Ninth

House, the leader in online business skills training, announced today that one of the largest independent middle-market auto finance companies in North America, AmeriCredit Corp., has implemented Ninth House's engaging e-learning to deliver leadership and management training. AmeriCredit integrated the Ninth House courses, simulations and Instant Advice(R), as well as internally developed courses with its Learning Management System (LMS), for a powerful and accessible training platform for its employees.

Out of dozens of business skills e-learning providers it reviewed, AmeriCredit singled out Ninth House for its superior production quality and instructional design. AmeriCredit implemented the Ninth House courses, simulations and Instant Advice(R) in support of the company's new human resources focus on coaching and employee development, which it considers key to its success in today's challenging economic climate. The leadership courses have been completed by the company's IT leadership and are now being deployed to front-line managers throughout the company.

"Ninth House does an exceptional job engaging learners; it is easily the best off-the-shelf content available today," said John Shearer, Vice President of Learning, AmeriCredit. "The positive feedback from our learners has been phenomenal."

AmeriCredit partnered closely with Ninth House to integrate the courses with their Docent (Nasdaq: DCNT) LMS. After a very successful integration process, AmeriCredit learners now can access Ninth House courses, simulations and Instant Advice(R) as well as internally developed training courses, from a centralized location customized for the company.

"Integrating Ninth House with our LMS was by far the single easiest thing we have done on the platform," continued Shearer. "Ninth House partnered with us in every sense of the word throughout the process."

AmeriCredit, #43 on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list, will use e-learning from Ninth House to develop employees quickly and consistently to meet business objectives.

AmeriCredit also was named the fourth best training organization in the U.S. for 2003 by Training Magazine. The Training Top 100 ranks companies according to their level of investment in workforce development.

"AmeriCredit has made a commitment to high-quality leadership training to build a solid infrastructure for continued growth and success," said Jeff Snipes, CEO and President, Ninth House, Inc. "Ninth House is pleased to be a part of that effort and looks forward to working with AmeriCredit moving forward."
