 Working
relationships for good practice and quality procedures and controls is
how we translate the word affiliates.
Although the training industry in general does not require specific
regulation currently, we do believe that there should be some form of
supervision. We also believe that it is just a matter of time before
regulation becomes mandatory.
Senior management within our organisation have worked and consulted for
a large number of financial services organisations. These include Pearl
Assurance, HSBC Bank, Cornhill Life, Canada Life, Millfield Group, MBNA
Europe Bank.
We have also worked closely with the Financial Services Authority, The
Institute of Financial Services, The Chartered Insurance Institute,
amongst many other established organisations.
The wish that there should be regulation for our industry complemented
with an extensive knowledge bank within the management, we are in prime
position to lead our industry towards high standards.
In order to accelerate this vision we are strategically focused upon
developing healthy business relationships which shall assist us in our
objective.

 Pearson
VUE was built on a foundation of experience in electronic testing. In
1994, three
pioneers in the electronic testing industry set out to create a company
that
melded their expertise in testing and their desire to provide clients
with an
alternative test delivery solution that incorporated state of the art
technology
and unparalleled service. They established Virtual University
Enterprises, now
known as Pearson VUE, as an electronic testing and course registration
company.
VUE’s first CEO and founder, E. Clarke Porter, developed the
first electronic
testing system for NASD in 1979. He, along with Steve Nordberg and Kirk
Lundeen,
had led Drake Training and Technologies to a leadership position in
electronic
testing in the early ’90s. VUE’s founders then
leveraged this expertise to create
a company dedicated to flawless execution, innovative technology, a
global test
delivery network and a company culture of customer service. Pearson VUE
quickly
became a formidable competitor in the testing industry.
