Developing new qualifications
When developing new qualifications we involve a range of employers, as well as representatives from further and higher education and professional bodies to ensure that our qualifications and learning programmes are fit for purpose and align to relevant standards.

This offering will open up pathways for students not only in the UK but also across Pearson’s global footprint.” - Ken Eisner, Director of Worldwide Education Programs for AWS and Head of AWS Educate
