Bloomington, MN. – March 31, 2025 – Pearson VUE, the global leader in computer-based testing, introduces the Pearson Skilling Partner Program, a unique opportunity for testing and training centers to fuel their growth, ultimately addressing the growing skills gap.

Designed to equip commercial training and testing centers with the essential tools and resources necessary to succeed in the evolving skilling landscape, the Pearson Skilling Partner Program offers participating testing and training centers access to end-to-end skilling solutions, over 60 in-demand IT certification courses, discounted courseware, and support from the trusted Pearson brand. These learning centers can boost their enrollment, create new revenue streams, and strengthen their market position with minimal risk and investment.

“The Pearson Skilling Partner Program is a growth engine for our network of training and testing centers,” says Dr. Gary Gates, Managing Director, Pearson VUE. “We’re committed to helping our partners address the challenges they face, such as serving a variety of learners, managing price sensitivity, and delivering high-quality content. Our program is uniquely designed to support their expansion and profitability, which further supports opportunities for lifelong learning for professionals around the world.”

Upon joining the Pearson Skilling Partner Program, qualifying partners gain access to a host of powerful solutions to help grow their business: a training finder that generates leads, bringing students directly to their courses, a training marketplace that allows them to instantly expand by reselling seats in courses they don’t offer, and an official Pearson Skilling Partner designation. In addition, the company is introducing the Pearson Skilling Suite, which provides an expanded set of administrative and instructor tools, enabling centers that are part of the program to better manage their operations, track training assets, and optimize their business performance. This multi-pronged approach to growth enables partners to expand, scale, and serve a wider audience than ever before, ensuring they never miss a training opportunity.
