Invoices: Making Payments (International Centres)

You can find your payment terms on all financial documents:

Your monthly statement: (The Transaction Date and Due Date):

Your invoice copies (found top right of the invoice):

Failure to adhere to payment terms can cause your account to be suspended.

In accordance with the Centre approval and qualification policy, an account suspension imposes specific restrictions and operational requirements on centres. Until the suspension is lifted, centres are prohibited from engaging in certain activities, including:

• Advertising or promoting Pearson qualifications
• Recruiting, enrolling and teaching new learners for Pearson qualifications
• Placing orders, registering new learners on Pearson qualifications, and in some circumstances, booking Pearson tests

Should your finance account be suspended and you need to make entries for learners currently on programme, please contact Customer Services for guidance and assistance.

Persistent late payment and noncompliance can result in your account being referred to a third-party collector, with the additional collection costs charged to your organisation, plus a permanent removal of Pearson Centre and qualification approval.

The suspension will only be lifted once full payment of all overdue invoices is made. If you find yourself in this situation, please do reach out to our Collections team on the toll free number +44 800 781 1377 to discuss a potential way forward.

We accept payment by Electronic Funds Transfer, credit card payment via iPay or credit card payment by telephone.
