## Reviews

### "Long standing customer with Surpass" — 4.0/5

> **Laura** | *27 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent customer service and very easy to get hold of knowledgeable members of staff when required. Surpass staff make the effort to make their customers feel valued and listened to.
> 
> **Cons**: Custom development within the core platform can be slow and expensive, however they do their best to understand customer requirements prior to development.
> 
> We've worked with Surpass and their software for over 15 years, so they must be a good outfit to retain customers for this length of time. We've used the software to deliver over 100,000 high stakes examinations alongside formative assessments, in both English and Welsh.

> 
> **Pros**: Can be adapted in many ways, multiple uses, user friendly, can be customised to the individual business.
