About Prometric
Learn more about Prometric and their company culture.
The story of Prometric begins in 1990, born from the vision of Drake International as a pioneering venture named Drake Prometric. This was a time when the professional world was on the cusp of a digital revolution, and the founders recognized a burgeoning need for standardized, secure, and accessible testing. Their initial foray into computerized testing centers laid the groundwork for what would become a global standard in assessment services. The journey of growth and transformation truly began in 1995 when Sylvan Learning acquired the company, rebranding it as Sylvan Prometric. This acquisition marked a significant step, infusing the company with new resources and a broader educational focus. The momentum continued, and in 2000, the Thomson Corporation took the helm, further solidifying Prometric's position as a leader in the testing industry. Each transition brought with it an expansion of services and a deeper entrenchment in various professional and academic sectors.
The early 21st century saw Prometric navigate a dynamic landscape of technological advancements and evolving client needs. A pivotal moment arrived in 2007 when the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a giant in educational measurement, acquired Prometric. This alliance was a natural fit, combining ETS's deep expertise in test development with Prometric's extensive global network of testing centers. Under ETS's ownership, Prometric continued to innovate, expanding its reach to over 180 countries and delivering millions of exams annually for a diverse clientele spanning academia, government, healthcare, and information technology. The company's narrative took another turn in 2018 when it was acquired by Baring Private Equity Asia, signaling a new chapter of strategic growth and technological investment. Today, Prometric stands as a testament to its enduring commitment to providing reliable and secure testing solutions. From its origins as a forward-thinking concept, it has evolved into an indispensable partner for organizations worldwide, ensuring that individuals have a fair and trusted pathway to achieve their professional and educational aspirations. The journey from a small network of testing centers to a global powerhouse is a compelling story of adaptation, innovation, and an unwavering focus on the integrity of assessment.
