Why choose Pearson Edexcel now?

The partner you can trust through times of change 

The education landscape is changing fast. The disruption to learning during the global pandemic has brought with it innovation, which has created new demands for teachers, learners and education systems.

To ensure your school and learners are best placed to face the challenges to come, you need a qualifications partner you can trust.

Only Pearson Edexcel can provide that trust.

Let us explain why

Three reasons why you should choose Pearson Edexcel now

1. We lead the way in digital teaching, learning and assessment

We are the only awarding body with proven expertise in onscreen assessment and are investing in new forms of digital teaching and learning to provide a complete, integrated education experience wherever learning takes place.

Our vision for onscreen assessment accelerates the education world’s transition to onscreen learning, teaching and high-stakes examinations.

We currently offer onscreen International GCSE qualifications for English and Mathematics, with more subjects to follow.

2. Our globally recognised modular qualifications protect your learners

Unlike other awarding organisations, Pearson Edexcel International A levels are modular in structure, giving students flexibility over when and how they are assessed, allowing them to bank grades as they progress through the course.

Exams are taken at the end of each unit, at points in the course when the student feels ready, or all together at the end of the course. This gives students more opportunity to obtain the results they need to progress to university.

Our modular International A Levels give students more confidence, and better control over their outcomes.

3. We are so much more than an awarding organisation

We are the world’s leading learning company with an unparalleled breadth of experience. When you partner with Pearson, you have access to our global expertise and our support to help you achieve your school’s education vision.

We can help you create competitive advantage for your school with online schooling services, career-based BTEC qualifications, professional development, English language resources and assessments and learner research and professional development.

See what international schools around the world have to say

We have gathered testimonials from international schools around the world who want to share the experiences of their learners and educators and why they choose to partner with Pearson to deliver Pearson Edexcel qualifications.

"We have made the decision to switch to Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs for a number of reasons.

Firstly the support from the team here in Sri Lanka is second to none. Secondly during this Covid period, the decision-making by Pearson Edexcel globally has been clear and made early, which has enabled us as a school to respond in good time, and to communicate clearly with parents. Thirdly, having looked in detail at the syllabi, we feel that the exams and the exam style is more child friendly than some of the rival examination boards. In particular they seem to test what children know rather than try and find out what children don’t know.

The support we have had from Pearson Edexcel in our early stages of the switch has been great and we don’t regret it at all."
