Edexcel: World-class students for world-class universities

Introducing Edexcel qualifications

Welcome to our website. We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you more about Edexcel qualifications from Pearson, the UK’s leading awarding organisation and world-renown Education Company.

Edexcel qualifications are offered by UK and international schools and include GCE A levels, International Advanced Levels, GCSEs, International GCSEs, and a International Primary and Lower secondary curricula.

They are developed to Pearson’s world-class qualification principles, which mean that the content and assessment of Edexcel qualifications are benchmarked against other leading international curriculums. We work collaboratively with a panel of thought-leaders to ensure that Edexcel qualifications represent world-class best practice and enable learners to access top global universities.

A heritage you can trust

The background to Pearson becoming the UK’s largest awarding organisation began in 1836, when a royal charter gave the University of London its first powers to conduct exams and confer degrees on its students. With over 150 years of international education experience, Pearson’s Edexcel qualifications have firm academic foundations, built on the traditions and rigour associated with Britain’s educational system. 

The most reliable awarding organisation

Pearson’s marking processes have been shown to produce exceptionally reliable results – with the fewest grade changes on re-marketing of the leading UK awarding organisations over the past 2 years – demonstrating that at every stage, Pearson qualifications – which include Edexcel academic qualifications – maintain the highest standards.

Leading learning development and fulfilling potential

Pearson’s world-class qualification standards mean that the content and assessment of Edexcel qualifications are benchmarked against other leading international curriculums. As a result, they represent global best practice in qualification design and encourage deep learning, develop advanced problem-solving skills and develop higher-order knowledge skills to support learners to thrive at degree-level study.
