Qualifications
A central principle of professional test use is that individuals should use only those tests for which they have the appropriate training and expertise. Pearson supports this principle by stating qualifications for the use of particular tests, and selling tests to individuals who provide credentials that meet those qualifications.
Additional policy information may be found on the qualifications policy page.
Individual qualification levels
Similar to our product levels, all customers are assigned an individual qualification level of either A, B, or C to allow for purchasing of corresponding assessments. Customers who obtain a C level can purchase any product while customers with B level can only purchase B or A level products. Customers with A level may only purchase A level products.
Qualification information (degree, certificate/license, membership organization, or accreditation) can be entered either when a customer is prompted during the initial website account registration process or at any time after a website account is created. Learn more about entering your qualifications and purchasing as the qualified user on the instructional page. For further information please view the qualifications policy and full table of qualifications requirements.
Purchasing on behalf of another qualified user
In some cases purchasing agents, administrative assistants, financial officers, etc. may need to purchase assessments on behalf of a qualified user who will ultimately administer the assessment. To learn more about this method of purchasing an assessment please visit the Purchasing on Behalf of a Qualified User page.
