     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-1
          ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Caliber Learning Network, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's Registration with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  The Registration Statement relates to up
to 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, all
of which will be newly issued by the Company (the "Shares").

     In this capacity, we have examined the Company's Charter and By-Laws, the
proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance of
the Shares and such other documents, instruments and matters of law as we have
deemed necessary to the rendering of this opinion.  In such examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion and advise you that each
of the Shares described in the Registration Statement has been duly authorized
and, upon sale of such Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement,
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.


                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ Piper & Marbury L.L.P.

                        Consent of Independent Auditors

We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement of
