Edexcel is part of the Pearson Group, the UK’s largest awarding organization in education, which’s history began as long ago as 1836 when a royal charter gave the University of London its first powers to conduct exams and confer degrees on its students.

Edexcel itself was formed in 1996 by the merger of the Business & Technology Education Council (BTEC) and London Examinations (ULEAC), which initially administered GCSEs and A levels.
