Pearson Language Tests is a new sector of the Pearson PLC group, dedicated to assessing and validating the English language usage of non-native English speakers. Pearson PLC (LSEPSON; NYSEPSO) is one of the largest education and media companies in the world and owns many education and publishing companies such as Longman, The Financial Times, Penguin Books and Edexcel.

The tests and exams so far developed include the London Tests of English and the London Tests of English for Children. These are scenario based exams, recently accredited by the QCA and administered in association with Edexcel, which is now the UK’s largest examining body.

Pearson Language Assessments is currently undertaking worldwide field tests for a new academic test of English, the Pearson Test of English offered in collaboration with GMAC. These are being run through the Pearson VUE centres who are also responsible for delivering the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) worldwide.
