Pearson (PSO) has announced the expansion of its AI learning content portfolio, aiming to bridge the skill gaps affecting economies significantly. The move comes as Pearson has observed substantial monthly growth in its Generative AI Foundations Certification since its inception in October 2024.
The portfolio expansion includes new certifications and courses focusing on agentic AI, large language models, machine learning, and ethical AI implementation. With such additions, Pearson is aiming to serve a wider audience ranging from K-12 students to enterprise learners.
In partnerships with big tech players like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google, Pearson has enhanced its AI content offerings, which are now available in nine languages. This strategic collaboration is set to bolster Pearson’s position as a leader in AI education and digital learning tools.
The company has nearly doubled its AI-related live training hours from 580 to 996 in the past year, highlighting its commitment to scaling operations in response to market demand.

This growth positions Pearson not only to meet current educational needs but also to anticipate future developments in AI capabilities.
