The opening ceremonies took place on March 27 for the Ho Chi Minh City test centre and is set for March 29 for Hanoi’s centre.

David Barnett, managing director of Pearson Asia Pacific, said, “The opening of these two new test centres, in partnership with EMG Education, demonstrates Pearson’s commitment to providing greater choice and access to English language testing for students in Vietnam.”

“We are very pleased to be working alongside EMG and feel confident in the benefits this partnership will bring to Vietnamese learners. Pearson is proud to support the aspirations of Vietnamese students,” he added.

With a focus on fair, impartial marks and typically offering results within five business days, PTE Academic scores are now accepted as evidence of English language proficiency by thousands of academic programmes around the world.

These include all universities in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland; 95 per cent of UK universities; most Canadian universities; and a growing number of institutions in the USA, including Harvard Business School and Yale. PTE Academic is also accepted for all visa categories by the Department of Home Affairs in Australia as well as by New Zealand immigration.

Nguyen Phuong Lan, CEO and vice chairwoman of EMG Education, said, “EMG Education is very pleased to work alongside such a reputable partner as Pearson to bring further benefits to Vietnamese learners.

“EMG Education is a leading education organisation in Vietnam. Our primary objective is to create opportunities for young Vietnamese learners to achieve internationally-recognised qualifications and succeed on a global stage. In 2017, EMG Education officially became a strategic partner of Pearson Education, by which we hope to provide Vietnamese students with further access to world-leading qualifications, such as PTE Academic,” she added.

Pearson is the world’s leading education company with 35,000 employees in more than 70 countries, working to help people of all ages make measurable progress in their lives through learning.
