FE built this. For FE.

UK FE runs on five separate systems. An LMS that does not know about ILR. An ePortfolio that does not talk to the MIS. An AI marking tool bolted on as a pilot. A separate AVA workflow for Access to HE. A jobs feed that does not know the eligibility rules. Procurement teams pay five renewals, manage five sub-processors, and reconcile five reports for one Ofsted deep dive.

We built Pearl because the FE leaders we work with kept telling us the same thing. They did not need another tool. They needed one platform that understood ESFA funding rules, Ofqual regulatory principles, Ofsted's 2025 framework, ILR data integrity, IQA sampling, EQA standardisation, AEB and ASF delivery, RQF unit credit, ASF traineeships, QAA AVA workflows, and Cyber Essentials, and made all of them visible in one audit trail.

So Pearl's six products share one compliance engine. Every learner action produces ILR-ready evidence. Every assessor mark sits in an audit trail. Every Ofsted deep-dive question maps to a dashboard view. That is the architecture, not a feature.

• Atom. LMS for Ofqual-regulated qualifications.
• SAM. AI assessment and marking for regulated qualifications.
• Pearl A2HE. The only LMS purpose-built for Access to HE diploma delivery.
• AI and Plagiarism Checker. Detects AI-generated and plagiarised submissions at upload.
• Content Library. 900+ SCORM and xAPI courses mapped to UK standards.
• Learner Find. Pay-per-enrolment learner recruitment, eligibility-vetted.

• Compliance is the architecture. Not an add-on. Not a module. The engine itself.
• Assessors keep authority. AI proposes. People decide. Every mark, every grade, every safeguarding flag.
• Honest about what we cannot do. Our comparison pages tell you where rivals win. Our methodology page shows the maths behind our claims. We would rather lose a tender on truth than win one on hype.
• FE-native vocabulary. We speak ESFA, Ofsted, Ofqual, ILR, RQF, ASF, AEB, IQA, EQA, AVA, QAA. Because you do.
• Peer-to-peer. We are FE talking to FE, not enterprise SaaS talking down.
