RESTON, VA (February 22, 2008) Learning Tree International (NASDAQ NM: LTRE) has added a new title, Facilitation Skills, to its Learning Tree Communication and Time Management curriculum. The course utilizes Learning Tree's award-winning RealityPlus learning methodology, immersing attendees in media-rich simulations for the purpose of experiencing real-world facilitations in both formal and informal business settings.

Over 3 days, an expert instructor/facilitator will lead participants in PC-based and video-enhanced activities that address how to:

• Facilitate goal-oriented results through planning, collaboration and consensus
• Maintain facilitative focus by adopting the right frame of mind
• Create a targeted agenda to make meetings productive
• Start up, manage and close effective meetings
• Resolve disagreement using a range of consensus-building techniques

"Attendees of this new RealityPlus course will gain exposure to the types of facilitation skills that can help themselves—and their organizations—increase their productivity and make more informed decisions," said Jennifer Urick, Vice President of Product Development for Learning Tree International.

Facilitation Skills is valuable for leaders, managers, supervisors and anyone who wants to improve team performance as well as those who are intent on increasing their professional effectiveness and personal job satisfaction.

Facilitation Skills augments existing Learning Tree Management courses, including Responding to Conflict: Creating Resolution and Cooperation, Influence Skills: Getting Results Without Direct Authority, Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving, Negotiation Skills: Achieving Successful Outcomes and Communication Skills: Results Through Collaboration.
