Navigating Support by 'Customer Type'

The Home page of the Pearson Customer Support Portal has been reorganised to provide a dedicated space for each of our main customer types/roles:

  • Administrators and Exams Officers
  • Teachers and Educators
  • Students, Parents and Carers
  • Finance Officers
  • Assessment Associates
  • New centres (approvals)

You can also move between the different customer types using the links at the top of the screen.

Please note: If you have defined your role on your portal profile, you will be automatically taken to your dedicated page once you sign in.
