Item 1. Security and Issuer
-----------------------------
This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March
15, 2010 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership,
("Blum LP"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation
("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP III, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company ("Blum GP III"); Blum Strategic GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Blum GP III LP"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Blum GP IV"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP IV LP"); and Saddlepoint Partners GP,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Saddlepoint GP") (collectively,
the "Reporting Persons").
This amendment relates to shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock") of ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the
Issuer is 13000 North Meridian Street, Carmel, IN 46032.
The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as previously amended.

There have been no changes to Item 2 since the initial Schedule 13D filed on
March 15, 2010.

CUSIP NO. 4506B109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 15 of 16
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
----------------------------------------------
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
(a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on July 23, 2010, there were 33,590,086 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2010. Based on such
information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c)
below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following
shares of Common Stock: (i) 844,641 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP
and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves
as the general partner, which represents 2.5% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock; (ii) 1,549,288 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III
which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as
the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 4.6% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 1,662,125 shares of the Common
Stock held by Blum GP IV, which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP
which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which
represents 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iv) 20,651
shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a limited
liability company for which it serves as the general partner, which represents
0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum
LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons
therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would
be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 4,076,705 shares of
the Common Stock, which is 12.1% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole
general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the
securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of
this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the
shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing
members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP,
and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the
securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP
III, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP or Saddlepoint GP.
