What makes us different?

As the world’s leading learning company, our mission at Pearson is to help people realise the life they imagine through learning.

We offer international qualifications and assessments designed specifically for international students, that are recognised and accepted by universities all over the world and provided to your school by a trusted and respected awarding body with a long history of qualifications provision.

So, what makes us different? What sets us apart from the rest?

World renowned curriculum content and support

We believe in creating accessible and reliable exams, to ensure that every learner has the chance to succeed. Renowned across the world for academic excellence, our student-centered qualifications are created in collaboration with educators to reflect the diverse needs and lives of today’s learners and are designed to instill and embed the key skills that help learners grow into resilient, curious and globally connected young adults.

As part of your exam fees, we provide a wealth of pre- and post-assessment resources to ensure you have everything you need to get your students ready for the exams and help your educators understand exactly where to focus their teaching to ensure every student achieves their full potential.
