## About

Computer-based testing and certification delivery for professional and academic exams

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026 with the site returning a 403 geo-block from its AWS CloudFront CDN. The team reached out to the company that month, and its ethics and compliance office replied cautiously, calling Syria a complex regulatory environment and saying it is monitoring developments without committing to restore access. No resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-25 — Company Responded. Pearson's Ethics and Compliance Office responded to the unblocking request via EthicsandCompliance@pearson.com. The response acknowledged Syria as "a complex regulatory environment" and stated the company is "closely monitoring these developments" and will "evaluate our position as circumstances evolve." This is a human-reviewed response indicating cautious engagement rather than an outright decline, though no specific timeline or commitment to restore access was provided.
- 2026-02-20 — Verified. Confirmed that Pearson Vue remains blocked from Syria. Accessing www.pearsonvue.com returns a 403 ERROR from Amazon CloudFront CDN: "The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked." The blocking is implemented at the CDN infrastructure level via AWS CloudFront geo-restriction. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/u5ub1b15v2rip5ri0cj46cxv/ln1aoa6p8diiq88l6znyhpfa-pearson-vue-21-feb-2026.jpg)
- 2026-02-20 — Contacted Company. Outreach email sent to Pearson VUE at pearsonvuecontracts@pearson.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 OFAC sanctions lift and EU sanctions removal, included links to official U.S. Treasury documentation, and noted that several other companies have already restored access. Supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources was also attached.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
