Honda creates 'Brand Ambassadors' with Global Learning Infrastructure
and solutions provider CERTPOINT

... Enhanced knowledge sharing and training to help exceed customer
expectations...

Monday 28 January 2008, Global Learning Infrastructure and solutions
specialist CERTPOINT has signed a deal with Honda Motor Europe (HME) to
improve business efficiency with the introduction of a comprehensive
knowledge sharing and learning programme designed to create 'brand
ambassadors'. CERTPOINT's VLS multi-lingual software will help provide
40,000 employees, distributors and dealers throughout Europe (1) with a
mixture of e-learning, classroom training and product information.

"Like many large organisations these days, Honda Motor Europe needs to
deliver regular training to more of its people in an efficient and
timely manner," explains Dick Klein, head of customer operations with
Honda Motor Europe. "We wanted to change the learning culture within
Honda so that everyone could learn within working hours. We also wanted
to establish a central repository of information and to enhance the
skills base of all our employees and dealers to help us exceed customer
expectations." 

"We approached CERTPOINT as they understood our business challenges and
they were able to deliver a strategic solution without cutting corners.
It is vital in today's customer service driven market that everyone
working for the business is able to act as a 'brand ambassador'." adds
Klein.  

Training is delivered on job title, responsibility and local regional
requirements. The long term aim of HME's training initiative is to
ensure knowledge is shared across the entire enterprise, meaning
increased levels of excellence both in terms of technology and enhanced
customer service.

Ara Ohanian, CEO, Founder and President of CERTPOINT said "We are
extremely pleased that Honda Motor Europe selected us to support their
continued accomplishments in bringing innovation, dedication and quality
to its customers."

Ohanian concludes, "Our CERTPOINT VLS suite is unlike any other.  It is
the only system on the market that brings together essential e-learning
and administrative tools into a seamless and adaptable platform. Our
vertical sector expertise and strategic approach allows our customers to
sharpen their competitive edge by maximising and aligning their
knowledge assets."   

Honda Motor Europe has a Global licence to deliver CERTPOINT VLS
training in 32 languages, covering a wide range of products across its
three core lines of business: automobiles, motor cycles and power
equipment, including engines for motor boats.  

(1) Specific European countries include Austria, Belgium, Czech
