Exhibit "A" - Instructor Certification Program

In order to achieve a strong business relationship and maintain the quality
of delivery of Sun courseware, it is important to provide Company with the
appropriate training and resources to ensure a successful program. Likewise,
Company must ensure that individuals designated to teach Sun courses have the
basic skills and competencies to make them successful.

The certification program for Company instructors will consist of the
following steps:

                                    Page 7
<PAGE>

1. Interview and Qualification Process

2. Instructor Observation of a Sun Education course at a Sun facility.

3. Testing of Instructor to ensure technical expertise.

3. Co-teach of a Sun Education course at a Sun facility with an experienced
instructor.

4. Full teach of the course at a Sun facility.

Interview and Qualification Process

Listed below me the desired skills/competencies for an instructor position:
* BSCS/EE degree or equivalent experience.
* 3-5 years of related business experience.
* 1-3 years experience in delivering technical courses.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
* Good working knowledge of the Unix "TM" Operating System.
* Technical expertise in the appropriate area of instruction.
* Excellent customer relations skills.

Interview Process:

Instructor applicants will provide an updated, typewritten resume, including
employer references. Copies of post-class surveys from classes previously
delivered by the candidate would also be helpful. The interview cycle will
include at least one interview with a Sun Education manager and one or more
technical interviews with instructors. The interviewer will be evaluating the
skills/competencies listed above. These interviews will be conducted via the
telephone. Upon completion of the interviews, the manager will conduct a
reference check.

Presentation Skills Evaluation:

During the interview process, it is difficult to assess presentation skills.
Therefore, the instructor applicant must submit a videotape (at least 20
minutes in length) of a presentation on a topic of their choice.  If requested,
Sun will provide a module of a course to be presented by the applicant.
Ideally, the presentation will be given interactively with a "live" audience.
Assessment of Interview/Presentation Skills:

Upon completion of the interview and receipt of the presentation videotape,
a Sun Education manager will make an assessment of the applicant's
instructional skills. This assessment will be communicated to Company.  Sun
reserves the right to qualify or disqualify applicants teaching under the
Strategic Alliance program.

Observation of a Sun Education course at a Sun facility

Upon successful completion of the interview process, applicants will be
required to attend a Sun Education training class at a Sun facility to observe
the class they are planning to teach.  Several courses in our curriculum are
built upon skills which are acquired by taking other classes (see section
entitled "Learning Paths". in the Sun Educational Services Catalog).  If an
applicant is planning to teach a course that requires skills which are
presented in another class, the applicant must successfully complete the
required class or receive a waiver from a Sun Education manager.

Company instructor applicants will be registered for the course which they
are designated to teach (free of charge). The Sun Education manager will notify
the Sun instructor that a Company instructor is enrolled in the class. This
will allow the Sun instructor to spend as much time as

                                    Page 8
<PAGE>

possible with the Company instructor in order to clarify topics and to share
teaching strategies. However, since the Sun instructor must ensure a high-level
of customer satisfaction, he/she may not be able to spend an appropriate amount
of time with the instructor applicant. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that
the instructor applicant is allowed to come back into the Sun facility following
the class to work one-on-one with a Sun instructor. The Sun Education manager
will ensure that an instructor is available to work with the instructor
applicant.

Testing of Instructor to Ensure Technical Expertise

Upon completion of the course, the instructor applicant will take a test to
ensure a technical understanding of the course material. This test will be a
written test and/or a comprehensive lab exercise. The test will be taken on the
last day of class or at an agreed upon date following the class.

Instructor Preparation Schedule

The certification process typically takes 9-11 weeks to complete. This
timeframe may due depending upon the instructor's level of expertise and the
technical level of the course.

Listed below is a model of the timeframe required to become a certified Sun
Educational Services instructor:

Week 1: Instructor attends the class at a Sun facility
Week 2: Instructor studies the course materials and practices the labs
Week 3: Instructor attends the class at a Sun facility
Week 4: Instructor prepares to teach at least 25% of the class modules
Week 5: Instructor co-teaches class at Sun (minimum of 25% of modules)
Week 6: Instructor prepares to teach 50% of the class modules
Week 7: Instructor co-teaches class at Sun (additional 50% of modules)
Week 8: Instructor prepares to teach entire course
Week 9: Instructor teaches the entire course (Sun instructor will be present)
Week 10: Instructor works on areas that need development (if required)
Week 11: Instructor teaches the entire course (if additional training is
required)

Co-teach Sun Education Course

The Company instructor will teach an agreed upon set of modules of their
designated course at a Sun facility. Obviously, the more modules taught by the
Company instructor, the quicker the ramp-up time.

During the presentations given by the Company instructor, the Sun instructor
will assess technical and presentation skills. This feedback will be submitted
to the Sun Education manager and all three individuals will participate in a
meeting to review the assessment upon completion of the course delivery. Post
class survey results will also be reviewed at this time.

Full teach of the Course at a Sun Facility

The Company instructor will deliver the entire Sun Education course at a Sun
facility. An instructor will be present during the entire week and will act as
a resource and lab assistant to the Company instructor. However, if there are
problems in the class, Sun reserves the right to replace the Company instructor
with a Sun Education instructor. A Sun Education Manager may be present to
observe the Company instructor.

The instructor observing the class will assess technical and presentation
skills and provide feedback to the Sun Education manager. Upon completion

                                    Page 9
<PAGE>

of the course, the Company instructor, Sun Education manager and Sun Education
instructor will participate in a meeting to provide feedback and suggestions to
the Company instructor. Post-class surveys will also be reviewed and discussed.
Company instructors must receive an average rating of 8.0 or above in the
overall instructor rating category on the post class surveys to become a
certified Sun Education/Company instructor.
