"CaptiveLearning.com will build on the success of captive.com which has
served the captive insurance industry since 1995," reports Chris Mancini, CEO
of Captive.com, LLC. "Captive.com is accessed by some 65,000 visitors
monthly, many of whom are thirsty for quality on-demand training. We are
excited about taking aim at captive excellence through this venture," she
added.

A quickly-growing course catalog began with the first module in a
governance series entitled Captive Governance Best Practices. The presenter
is John Salisbury, a recently-retired captive CEO. "John was a founding
principal of captive.com, and is the architect of the CaptiveLearning.com
website. He has a passion for learning and will be actively encouraging
others to share their captive expertise by creating courses or presentations
to be hosted at CaptiveLearning.com," Mancini commented.

CaptiveLearning.com is designed to:

1. Serve as a training resource devoted to building excellence in captive
governance and operations

2. Provide captive service providers the opportunity to share their
knowledge and promote their services

3. Offer a resource through which captive domiciles can inform and train
managers, service providers and staff, adding value to their domicile

4. Provide cost-effective, on-demand continuing education for captive
professionals

Presentations and courses available at CaptiveLearning.com will either be
sponsored and available at no cost to participants, or on a pay-per-view
basis. Both video/PowerPoint and audio/PowerPoint formats will be used. The
learning management platform is robust, including features such as secure
online forums, the ability to upload and download course materials, testing
capability, certificates of completion, and more.

Two pay-per-view video/PowerPoint presentations are currently available.
Kate Westover, a respected authority on captive insurance and author of
Captive Practices and Procedures, is the instructor for The Feasibility Study
module. This course begins a ten-part series based on Ms. Westover's book.
The course is a must see for organizations considering captive formation, and
those currently developing a captive.

Preparing a Captive Governance Annual Work Plan is the second
pay-per-view course available, building on the governance series. John
Salisbury is the instructor.
