           GP STRATEGIES ANNOUNCES $18 MILLION FINAL ARBITRATION AWARD

NEW YORK - November 30, 2004 -- GP Strategies Corporation (NYSE:GPX), a global
provider of training, e-Learning solutions, management consulting, engineering,
and simulation services, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary,
General Physic Corporation, has received a final award of approximately $18
million in its arbitration against Electronic Data Systems Corporation relating
to General Physics' 1998 acquisition of Learning Technologies. As previously
announced, the arbitrator had found that the sellers of Learning Technologies
breached certain representations and warranties contained in the acquisition
agreement, and had made an interim award to General Physics of $12 million. The
final award was increased to approximately $18 million primarily as a result of
the arbitrator's finding that General Physics is entitled to pre-award interest.
General Physics intends to promptly file in New York state court an application
for an order confirming the award and Electronic Data Systems will then have the
right to seek to vacate the award.

The Company also has a litigation pending in New York state court against MCI
Communications Corporation and Electronic Data Systems Corporation alleging
fraud in connection with the Learning Technologies acquisition. In the fraud
action, GP Strategies seeks actual damages in the amount of $117.9 million plus
interest, punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and costs.
Such damages would be subject to reduction by any amounts recovered in the
arbitration. GP Strategies will now proceed with the fraud claim against EDS,
which had been stayed until the related arbitration was concluded. The fraud
action against MCI had been stayed as a result of the bankruptcy of MCI. In
February 2004, the bankruptcy court lifted the stay so that the state court
could rule on the merits of MCI's summary judgment motion, which is currently
before the court.

In connection with the spin-off of National Patent Development Corporation by GP
Strategies, which occurred on November 24, 2004, GP Strategies agreed to make an
additional capital contribution to National Patent Development in an amount
equal to the first $5 million of any proceeds (net of litigation expenses and
taxes incurred, if any), and 50% of any proceeds (net of litigation expenses and
taxes incurred, if any) in excess of $15 million, received with respect to the
foregoing arbitration and litigation claims.
