Add independent Clearing assurance to what you already sell.
Resell or refer the UK's only independent Clearing performance-testing service to your university clients. You own the relationship and earn the margin — we scope, test and deliver every engagement. We've worked hand-in-hand with channel partners for over 15 years.
Why partner with us
A new line of revenue — with none of the delivery risk
Clearing assurance slots neatly beside the telephony, CRM and student-engagement tech you already place in universities. You add a high-value service; we do the heavy lifting.
High-margin new revenue
Earn up to 30% on every engagement you introduce or resell — added to deals you're already working, with no new cost base.
Zero delivery overhead
You don't need testing engineers or Clearing expertise. Our team scopes, runs and reports on every project end-to-end under your relationship.
A differentiator clients can't get elsewhere
Independent, results-day-grade assurance makes your wider proposition stickier and harder for competitors to displace.
Protected deals
Register an opportunity and it's yours. Deal registration protects your margin and prevents channel conflict for the life of the account.
Co-marketing & enablement
Joint webinars, case studies, branded one-pagers, pitch decks and a sample report — everything your team needs to sell with confidence.
A dedicated partner manager
One named contact for pricing, scoping support and joint pursuits — plus a fast track to our delivery team when a client says yes.
15+ years in the channel
We've built our business with partners — not around them
For over fifteen years we've delivered Clearing assurance alongside technology vendors, integrators and agencies serving UK higher education. We know how the channel works because we've grown through it.
- Channel-first, not channel-conflicted. We never compete with our partners for the relationship — your client stays your client.
- Predictable, productised delivery. A fixed 1-week engagement from a fixed price makes it easy to quote, sell and forecast.
- A track record you can stand behind. Independent, board-ready reports that reflect well on whoever brought us in.

Partner FAQ
The questions partners ask first
Who actually delivers the engagement?
We do — entirely. Our team handles scoping, test design, the test runs, retests and the final report. You don't need any testing capability or Clearing expertise in-house. You introduce or resell; we deliver under your relationship.
Is there a cost or commitment to join?
No. There's no joining fee, no annual minimum and nothing to stock. You only ever earn — through a referral fee or a partner discount on what you resell. Strategic tiers involve a volume commitment in exchange for the best margins, but that's optional.
How is my client relationship protected?
Through deal registration. Once you register an opportunity it's protected for the life of that account, and we never approach your client directly or compete for the relationship. Channel-first is how we've operated for 15+ years.
How and when do I get paid?
Referral partners are paid a commission on completion of each engagement. Resellers buy at a discount and keep the margin between our price and yours. We invoice promptly and reconcile against your registered deals.
What sales support do I get?
A named partner manager, a co-branded pitch deck and one-pager, a sample report to share, pricing guidance, and joint marketing — webinars, content and case studies — scaled to your tier.
How quickly can we start selling?
Fast. After a short suitability call and a simple agreement, most partners are introducing their first opportunity within a fortnight. Because delivery is a fixed one-week engagement, deals close inside a normal sales cycle.
