Introduction to Edexcel: the UK's most widely recognised and respected tertiary-level examination board

The Edexcel brand is the most widely recognised and respected name in UK tertiary-level education. Over the years, Edexcel has built an outstanding reputation for providing high-quality and challenging exam questions and assessments. This has helped shape the way the education system works, and has helped to shape the minds of those who have gone on to become some of the most influential individuals in the world. Your education is no small thing; it is the foundation on which your future is built.
Edexcel is the UK’s most widely recognised and respected tertiary-level examination board. Founded in the 1930s, it is the largest provider of A-level and BTEC examinations in the UK. The brand was awarded accreditation by the United Kingdom Council for National Academic Awards (UKCAA), the UK’s national certification body for tertiary-level qualifications, in 2009. The UKCAA is the only national body in the UK with the power to accredit education boards and awarding bodies.
The Edexcel examination board is the largest and most widely recognised and respected tertiary-level examination board in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1992, when the former Associated Schools of the London Matriculation and Cambridge Schools was split into the London and Cambridge boards. The Edexcel board is the parent company of the London and Cambridge boards and offers the same qualifications as its two daughter boards. The board runs examinations for the GCE O-level, GCE A-level and International Baccalaureate, and produces the International General Certificate of Secondary Education, the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the Advanced Subsidiary Level qualification.
The Edexcel exam is the UK's most widely recognised and respected tertiary-level examination board. It was first established in 1847 to offer the country's first qualification in engineering. Today, it offers over 400 different qualifications to over half a million students and is one of the world's largest awarding bodies. The board is committed to providing a world-class qualification that reflects the latest developments in learning and teaching, and provides many opportunities for students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to succeed in today's workplace.
The Edexcel Board is the UK's largest and most widely recognised and respected tertiary-level examination board, with over 1,000,000 students in over 200 countries, across the world, taking their GCSEs and A levels.
