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.

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.

"Pearson provides a pathway for curriculum development and opens doors for students to take their next steps into university and beyond to their careers."

David Slade, Vice Principal of Progression and Recognition at Alice Smith School, Malaysia, explains how a Pearson curriculum gives teachers the scope to be creative and innovative and gives students opportunities to broaden their thinking, preparing them for the next steps: from GCSE to A level and from A level on to university.

"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 Covid, the decision-making by Pearson Edexcel globally was clear and made early, which enabled us to respond in good time and to communicate clearly with parents. Thirdly, we feel that the exams and the exam style is more child friendly than some of the rival examination boards.

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."

Principal, Stafford International School, Sri Lanka
