Richmond Integrates EnglishScore into Richmond Pro to Strengthen Assessment, Certification and Professional Readiness in Higher Education

A strategic collaboration that brings together technology, flexibility, validation across up to four skills, and new opportunities for institutions, educators and learners.

Oxford, United Kingdom, April, 2026 — Richmond announces the integration of EnglishScore into Richmond Pro, strengthening its comprehensive higher education offering by connecting learning, assessment and employability within a single ecosystem.

Created to respond to the current needs of higher education institutions, Richmond Pro combines print and digital content, educational technology, teacher professional development and assessment tools designed to deliver meaningful outcomes. Its proposition is structured around three strategic pillars — Learning, Assessment and Employability — connecting English learning with skills validation and with real academic and professional opportunity. With the incorporation of EnglishScore, this ecosystem now includes an international certification solution backed by the British Council, expanding the possibilities for formal recognition in both educational and workplace contexts.

EnglishScore brings to Richmond Pro a digital, flexible assessment proposition aligned with the realities of today’s market. Supported by AI-enabled technology, it provides a more agile, accessible and secure experience, with validation options that can extend across up to four language skills. This gives students and institutions a clearer pathway from learning to formal recognition.

The integration also strengthens the Assessment pillar within Richmond Pro by naturally complementing the student’s 4Es Assessment Journey — Entry, Explore, Evaluate and Endpoint — supporting the process from initial placement through to final skills validation. In this way, assessment becomes more than a single moment: it becomes a continuous, measurable and strategic part of the learning journey. At the same time, EnglishScore certification adds meaningful value for employability by enabling learners to demonstrate their English skills with greater clarity, recognition and relevance for both academic and professional settings.

In addition, EnglishScore responds to growing expectations around accessibility and flexibility through a mobile-first experience, supported by AI-enabled technology and remote security features that reinforce the reliability of the assessment process. This expands institutions’ ability to measure student progress with greater evidence, relevance and international reach.

“At Richmond Pro, we believe that learning English is only part of the journey; validating it and linking it to real opportunities is what truly transforms the educational experience,” said Esdras Taylor, Richmond Global Managing Director. “The incorporation of EnglishScore strengthens our vision of providing institutions with an integrated, forward-looking solution aligned with today’s demands.”

In turn, Javier Carreño, Country Manager for LATAM at EnglishScore, said: “This collaboration represents an important opportunity to bring an innovative and relevant assessment solution to more institutions across the region. We are pleased to contribute, together with Richmond, to helping more learners demonstrate their English skills in an accessible, flexible way with international reach.”

With this integration, Richmond Pro continues to evolve as a solution built to respond to the real challenges of higher education in Latin America, connecting learning with recognition, progress and opportunity.
