Job Summary
About the role
Pearson Apprentice Quality Assurance 2026 is a structured 12-month apprenticeship inside Pearson India’s Vue Test Publishing division, the team that builds and delivers computer-based examinations used by certification bodies worldwide.

This is one of the more accessible entry points into IT quality assurance for freshers, since the programme is explicitly designed around structured mentorship rather than prior QA experience.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to investigate quality concerns and document defects.
- Prioritise assigned QA activities to meet project deadlines with high accuracy.
