Pearson Support Portal Update
Dear Associate,

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the platforms you use to contact us, we are excited to introduce an update to the Pearson Support Portal. The latest version of the portal was designed with the help of Associate feedback, and the changes aim to make obtaining help quicker and easier than ever. The update will be live on Friday 04 October and changes include:
  • A dedicated space for you to view self-help articles and guidance materials 
  • A streamlined contact journey, connecting you with the Associate Helpdesk team faster 
  • Simplified contact options, meaning fewer menus to navigate
  • A cleaner site design making navigation easier and more intuitive 
  • Quick links to other Associate Platforms 
  • Automatic case creation via live chat if members of the Associate Helpdesk team are not available
You will continue to access the Pearson Support Portal via associate.pearson.com by selecting the blue contact us button.
Live chat, phone, and email options will continue to be available during operational hours; you will find these hours listed on associate.pearson.com. The ability to raise email cases will still be available outside of the operational hours, this can be done by selecting the Submit a Case option when selecting a contact method. To contact us for any reason, select the Contact Us button from the top of the Pearson Support Portal page. Depending on the size of your screen, this option may be located within a drop-down menu.
Self-help articles and guidance materials can be accessed directly in the portal by selecting Associates at the top of the page. You can also use the search bar to find the specific guidance you need. A new article has been added which provides more information on using and navigating the new portal for your convenience. We will continue to add new guidance materials over the coming months.

It is important to ensure that, when logging in and accessing the Pearson Support Portal as an Associate, the correct account is used. You will use your Edexcel Gateway username and password to access the portal. You may hold positions in centres and will have different accounts for different purposes, so extra care should be taken to ensure when raising cases you are using the correct credentials.

There is no longer a requirement for you to be logged in to the portal to use the phone or live chat options. For security purposes, logging in is still a requirement when selecting the email option. While being logged in is not a requirement for phone and live chat options, doing so will provide you with access to your case histories and it will also pre-populate certain fields when raising cases.

Around the same time as the update to the Pearson Support Portal update, the login page for Edexcel Gateway and the portal are also updating. We have included screenshots below so you are aware of the changes before they happen.

Changes like these are part of an ongoing process to improve your experiences when using Pearson systems. We will continue to review all systems and we appreciate any feedback you may have. You can provide this by contacting us via the Pearson Support Portal
Yours sincerely,
