Pearson Onscreen Platform (POP): Software Versions

Which version of the Pearson Onscreen Platform do I need and how can I check which version is installed?

These are the current versions of the Pearson Onscreen Platform, you should always aim to be running the most up to date version to ensure that you can run tests successfully. Sometimes the versions will change due to updates we are making in the backend of the systems but if there is an update to the components that you use which requires your immediate action we will always send a communication to your centre.
