Edexcel or Pearson

When adding educational qualifications for UCAS, it asks for the awarding organization but lists Pearson and Edexcel separately.

What do I choose?

Edexcel

Pearson is the company that now owns it.

OP

Oh okay I see but I found this online:

https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/news-policy/press-releases/2013/change-of-awarding-organisation-name-from-edexcel-to-pearson.html

Should I still select Edexcel?

Aren't they the same?

OP

Ikr, why did they put two different options...

Yes, put Edexcel.

The reason there's a Pearson option is that Pearson has qualifications (other than GCSEs/A levels) that it operates independently, rather than under the Edexcel name.

Hm okay, I did that for my IGCSE qualifications but for my AS and A levels the only option that even appears is Pearson so I just selected that-

Guess that should be alright?

That's because you've chosen the international A level option. If you select the normal UK A levels, you get an Edexcel option.

Yeah I am an international applicant so I guess that makes sense then. Thanks!
