All of our UK and online training events are delivered under the UK time zones (GMT/BST).

Registration Process

Yes. If you are not part of a registered Pearson centre, you can register as a guest user. If you are part of a registered Pearson centre (schools, colleges or institutions with a Pearson centre number), you'll be asked to log in to your account when you make a booking.

If you belong to a Pearson registered centre, please speak to your centre administrator about getting set up with an EOL account. If you need general support on your EOL account, you can find it on the Edexcel Online page.

You will receive an email booking confirmation from cventtraining@pearson.com within 48 hours. If the event is fully booked when you register, you will receive confirmation that you have been placed on the waiting list.

If enough people register their interest for an event that is fully booked, you can add yourself to the waiting list. If we decide to run an additional session, we will add you to the new session if the event is free. If it is a paid event, we will notify you by email that a place has become available.

Pearson has the following accessibility policy in place.
