Pearson VUE has completed its minority stake investment of a Brazilian computer-based testing company, Prepona advancing its strategy of continued global growth and increasing its South American market presence.
Prepona is a leading computer-based testing/test delivery software provider in South America; providing exam development and exam delivery services via test centers, remote proctoring, and mobile testing through their ‘myTest’ app.
The minority stake acquisition aims to create new opportunities in market and the sharing of best practices and market insights. While Prepona and Pearson VUE will continue to operate independently, with no changes to either company’s day-to-day operations or management, this partnership marks an important step for Pearson VUE’s presence in the South American market.
Pearson VUE and Prepona share many common traits that underpin its mutual success — from being customer and candidate focused and ensuring broad availability and flexibility, to developing leading testing technologies while maintaining exam security.
This partnership highlights the critical role both organizations play in delivering the essential exams that empower industries and individuals to make an impact in their professions, communities, and the lives of others.
