Assured by Pearson: benchmarking the world's learning

For organisations designing and delivering their own training programmes, it's not just about staying relevant—it's about leading the way with training that meets the highest standards of excellence. Assured by Pearson combines the rigour of quality assurance from the world's lifelong learning company with the innovation of digital badging. The result? Training delivered by you that doesn't just meet the standard—it sets it. 

The value of quality assurance

Quality assurance goes beyond box-ticking; it's about creating tangible value. Imagine a learner embarking on a training programme with the certainty that it meets defined standards of excellence. For employers, it's the assurance that their workforce is acquiring robust, job-ready skills. For training providers, it's about distinguishing themselves in a competitive marketplace. Assured by Pearson ensures that training programmes are consistent, credible, and tailored to meet the demands of today's fast-paced industries. 

Why quality assurance matters

In a world where industries evolve at breakneck speed, training must keep pace. Programmes need continuous benchmarking to meet emerging demands while maintaining a foundation of excellence. Assured by Pearson provides this structure, acting as a trusted guide to ensure that training remains relevant and impactful. 

Quality assurance also builds trust. Earning a Pearson-endorsed quality mark signals reliability and professionalism. It reassures employers that their in-house training is robust, while learners gain verified skills that can advance their careers. In a crowded training landscape, credibility becomes a powerful competitive advantage, and Assured by Pearson delivers precisely that. 

Transforming skills into a digital currency

Digital badging has revolutionised the recognition and showcasing of skills. Traditional certificates are no longer the sole proof of achievement. Platforms like Credly by Pearson enable learners to present their accomplishments through verifiable, shareable credentials. Each badge tells a story, detailing the specific skills and competencies acquired. This level of transparency far surpasses traditional methods. 

However, the true value of a digital badge lies in its credibility and the standards behind its issuance. Assured by Pearson ensures that each badge carries significant weight in the marketplace, backed by Pearson's legacy of educational excellence. In an era where badges are becoming a form of skills currency, this credibility is crucial. 

Assured by Pearson stands out by aligning digital badges with rigorous quality assurance processes. Pearson bridges the gap between open standards and a trusted framework for skills verification. Employers can rely on these badges as a testament to the training's value, confident that they represent meaningful and measurable achievements. 

The importance of digital badging 

For learners, the benefits of digital badges are transformative. They are portable, globally recognised, and easily shared on platforms like LinkedIn or included in CVs. Imagine the impact of a badge that not only validates your skills but also enhances your employability by making your achievements visible to a global audience. 

For organisations, offering digital badges through Assured by Pearson underscores a commitment to quality and innovation. It strengthens brand reputation and highlights a dedication to empowering learners. 

Consider employers who have implemented Assured by Pearson in their in-house training. They have experienced stronger trust from stakeholders, enhanced branding, and a clear edge in competitive markets. Learners are reaping the rewards too. With Credly digital badges, they are unlocking new opportunities and distinguishing themselves in their career journeys. Training providers find the assurance process more streamlined and efficient, thanks to tools that simplify credentialling.

But the impact extends beyond convenience. Digital badges represent a step towards creating a common skills currency. When aligned with open skills taxonomies, they help standardise recognition across industries, making it easier for employers to assess qualifications. Pearson's leadership positions it as a pioneer in turning badges into universally understood and valued credentials. 

Standardised recognition with real-world impact 

Digital badges, or micro-credentials, have transformed how skills and achievements are recognised and shared. Unlike traditional certificates, badges offer a secure, portable, and verifiable format that reflects an individual's learning journey. Leading companies like IBM, Microsoft, and LinkedIn use badges to motivate continuous learning, validate expertise, and enhance employability. Assured by Pearson leverages these principles, offering badges that not only verify skills but also connect learners with meaningful career opportunities. 

This evolution is more than a trend—it's a significant step towards standardising the recognition of skills across industries. Through Credly, Assured by Pearson ensures its badges carry credibility and global recognition, making them valuable tools for learners, training providers, and employers alike.
