Pearson Assured
What is Pearson Assured?
Pearson Assured is an independent benchmark for third-party organisations that have training or learning programmes they have designed to deliver and assess in-house. With a strong track record in developing qualifications and carrying out regular quality assurance on our own learning programmes, Pearson Assured is ideally placed to ensure your systems and processes are thoroughly developed and properly executed.
Attainment of Pearson Assured status ensures that your organisation’s quality processes achieve the Pearson standard – an independent international quality benchmark.
What gives Pearson the authority to measure another organisation on quality?
- Pearson is the world’s leading awarding organisation. With over 100 years of education and training experience, in over 100 countries, we have the expertise and authority to audit, benchmark, and independently verify your quality processes against world-class standards.
- We’re serious about quality. We know that without rigorous quality assurance, a certificate is worth no more than the paper it is written on. That’s why rigorous quality processes underline everything we do, and we practise what we preach, being independently regulated by the UK regulator Ofqual to ensure our quality standards are rigorous, valid and reliable.
- Our Pearson qualifications are widely taught, recognised and respected, and the standards we apply in all Pearson qualifications are the same standards provided by the Edexcel Assured service. Please note that
Pearson Assured applies the quality processes used in Pearson qualifications to your organisation, using our experience to regulate your quality processes. Unlike Pearson qualifications, however, the programmes are not regulated by Ofqual.
