Partner programme

You bring the content or the market. We bring assessment you can trust.

Paragin Group is Europe's leading provider of mission-critical assessment technology. Awarding bodies, publishers and technology vendors offer it under their own name, inside their own product, or to the organisations they already serve.

Awarding bodies, publishers and technology vendors already build on Paragin: 25+ years in assessment, 11 million secure exams a year, 20+ countries served.

Join nearly 50 partners across a variety of sectors.

Partners build on Paragin's assessment technology to serve candidates, students and institutions, and keep their focus on their own qualifications, content or product.

  1. Exam and awarding bodies

    Your qualification, delivered to one standard everywhere.

    You bring the qualification, the standard and the relationship with your candidates. Paragin runs item banking, secure delivery, practical assessment, marking and moderation at every centre, college and employer site.

  2. Educational publishers

    Your titles, with assessment built around them.

    You bring subject content and reach into schools, colleges and training providers. Paragin adds item banks, practice, secure exams and step-by-step maths feedback, inside your own platform and under your brand.

  3. Technology vendors

    Assessment in your product, without building the engine.

    You bring a product, or a customer base that already trusts you. Refer opportunities our way, resell to customers you already serve, or connect assessment into your own product through API, LTI and SSO.

A national maths exam, built by the teachers who use it.

In 2020 the Dutch vocational sector set up Coöperatie Examens MBO so its own teachers could write the national maths exam. What used to run on paper is now delivered digitally across more than 500 exam locations nationwide.

“Because we've standardised our assessment, we can see exactly where results deviate, and act on it. Both building and running the exams keeps getting more efficient, which is useful for us, and it means schools can plan their own delivery better too.”

How every partnership works

What you keep. What we run.

Whatever kind of partner you are, your name stays the one people see, and your qualifications, content or product stay yours to define and price. Paragin runs the assessment technology behind it (item banking, secure delivery, marking and analysis), along with security, hosting and every update, plus a named contact and your own environment to try it in.

  • Your name and your offer, unchanged.
  • Paragin's technology, running behind it.
  • A named contact, training, and your own environment to test in.
