What we do
Pearson is the largest UK awarding organisation, offering more than 150 qualifications across GCSE, International GCSE, A level, BTEC, T level and more, in a variety of subject areas. We provide qualifications that measure and reflect students' true abilities, no matter what.
We offer a range of resources to help navigate the journey each learner will take, whatever their pathway. Our resources support students through every stage of their learning journey, from ages 4-19.
We're home to many of the UK’s favourite educational resources, including:

Our most popular resources include market-leading series such as Dynamo for KS3 French, Maths Progress and Exploring History.

We combine our qualifications with integrated services and support that provided schools with the tools needed to enable students to reach their full potential. Here’s a snapshot of the support we offer:
- Mocks Service -
The Mocks Service provides schools and colleges with Pearson Edexcel GCSE and A level exam papers for use in mock exams. The papers are sat by students and marked by Pearson examiners to provide consistent and accurate marking. Mock results are uploaded to ResultsPlus for item-level analysis.
- Results Plus - ResultsPlus is our online results analysis tool for teachers that gives you a detailed breakdown of your students’ performance in both mock and high-stake exams. This allows teachers to identify gaps in skills, knowledge and understanding, enabling them to plan and implement intervention and support for their students.
- examWizard - examWizard is an online resource containing a huge bank of past paper questions and support materials to help schools create their own mock exams and tests.
- Pearson Tutoring - As providers of qualifications and resources, we are in a unique position to provide high-quality tuition from qualified UK-based teachers, using standardised lesson materials and assessments. We provide online tutoring directly to schools, to help them support any pupil who would benefit from focused tuition.
Throughout the year we provide access to qualifications training events led by our team of subject advisors and assessment experts. Our event programmes support schools in the delivery of our qualifications with confidence.
