How can we work with Pearson?
text
Choose end-to-end support across test development and delivery, or bring us in for the specific stages where you need additional expertise. We integrate into the platforms you already run, so you don't rebuild what's working.
Do you work with smaller credentialing programs, or only global organizations?
text
We support testing programs of every size. The same high standards behind global testing programs can scale to fit your goals, budget, and team — with flexible delivery options and expert support throughout.
How do you protect exam content and candidate identity?
text
Security at Pearson is built into the full testing experience. Our Secure Testing Framework™ spans every delivery mode and focuses on four connected pillars: plan, prevent, detect, and respond. Identity assurance includes palm-vein biometrics at Pearson test centers, and our specialist teams investigate issues such as content leaks, impersonation, and item exposure — helping protect the fairness, integrity, and credibility of every program.
What delivery modes do you support?
text
We offer test center, online-proctored, client-proctored, and unproctored exam delivery. Choose the option that fits your program best, or combine multiple modes for greater flexibility. The Integrated Platform creates a unified candidate record, so you don't lose sight when they move between channels.
Can you move our paper-and-pencil program to computer-based testing?
text
Yes, and we do it often. Computer-based testing brings real-time scoring, fewer candidate travel barriers, test-when-ready scheduling, and richer item-performance data. We support the transition plan, candidate communications, and test center enablement — so your program moves without losing its existing pipeline. The result is affordable, accessible, and secure exam delivery by design.
What AI capabilities do you bring to exam development and delivery?
text
ExamDeveloper™ with Item Assist helps subject matter experts draft new questions faster, with psychometric quality checks built in. OnVUE uses AI features to streamline the check-in process and to support proctors with real-time risk signals on candidate behavior and environment.
Can you reach our candidates in every market we operate in?
text
Pearson delivers exams across 180+ countries and in 47 languages, through a global test center channel and online-proctored delivery. If your candidate base sits in a market we don't currently reach, your Program Manager can work with you on a delivery plan that supports your program goals.
How long does onboarding take?
text
Onboarding length depends on program complexity, item-bank readiness, and the delivery footprint you need on day one. Your Program Manager scopes a realistic timeline in the first discovery session and stays accountable to it.
Where do you want to go next?
false
Whether you're exploring testing options, supporting delivery, or scheduling an exam, you can find the information you need to take the next step with confidence.
