RM has secured a two-year extension to its e-marking partnership with NCFE, a development that keeps the group aligned with a sizeable and operationally important customer in vocational and technical assessment.
NCFE is one of the UK’s largest technical and vocational awarding organisations and certifies hundreds of thousands of learners each year. Its focus on skills-based learning and accessibility gives context to why the relationship matters. Assessment delivery is a core process rather than a discretionary one, and RM’s platform sits directly within that process.
The partnership began in 2022, when NCFE adopted RM’s e-marking platform to digitise assessment marking. This latest extension suggests the platform has moved beyond initial implementation into a more established operating role.
RM has said that more than 200,000 assessments will be marked on the platform in 2026 and 2027. That gives a useful indication of scale and underlines that this is an active delivery relationship rather than a limited pilot or narrow deployment. In practical terms, volume matters because it helps demonstrate live usage in a demanding environment.
RM plc (LON:RM) is a global EdTech provider of learning and assessment solutions, supporting the full learning journey, from early years through to higher education and professional qualifications.
