User Level Qualifications

Some of the assessment products in our online catalogue are restricted for purchase and use by appropriately qualified Professionals.  To purchase tests at B or C level the purchaser must be registered with Pro-Ed Australia at an appropriate level before any testing materials will be supplied. This applies to government departments as well as private entities.

If you are a new customer of Pro-Ed Australia and don’t have a customer account registered with us yet, you can do so via the MY ACCOUNT / My Account section at the footer of the home page.
