Grepp – Prometric Partnership Strengthens Korea’s Role in Global AI Exam Proctoring and CBT Innovation

As global education and certification systems accelerate their shift toward digital formats, Korean startup Grepp is stepping onto the world stage with a pivotal alliance. By joining forces with world’s No.2 computer-based testing provider Prometric, Grepp is positioning its AI-driven exam proctoring technology at the heart of the global assessment market. And this is a move with implications for both Korea’s edtech exports and international testing standards.

Korea Startup Grepp Signs Strategic Alliance with Prometric

South Korean edtech startup Grepp has entered into a strategic partnership with Prometric, the world’s second-largest computer-based testing (CBT) provider, in a move that underscores Korea’s rising contribution to AI-powered digital assessment technologies.

The alliance, announced on August 11, 2025, focuses on combining Grepp’s Monito AI exam proctoring platform with Prometric’s global infrastructure to deliver secure and scalable digital testing solutions across more than 180 countries.

Under the agreement, Grepp will also expand the international distribution of Monito and its developer training and evaluation service Programmers through Prometric’s network of 8,000+ test centers worldwide.

Prometric’s Market Position and Global Reach

Prometric is recognized as a leading global CBT operator, delivering high-stakes exams such as the U.S. Certified Public Accountant (AICPA) test and the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP).

With a footprint in 180 countries and comprehensive test management expertise, the company is positioned as the backbone for large-scale, secure examination environments.

By aligning with Prometric, Grepp gains access to established regulatory frameworks, quality assurance protocols, and global operational infrastructure, enabling its AI-driven proctoring technology to meet compliance standards in diverse jurisdictions.

Joint Development of Next-Generation Digital Assessment Models

The partnership sets the stage for joint R&D initiatives between Grepp and Prometric. These include:

  • Integrating AI-powered exam proctoring with large-scale CBT systems.
  • Designing test environments that comply with local regulatory requirements.
  • Expanding collaborative research on exam content, delivery systems, and operational quality control.
  • Enhancing scalability for institutions, enterprises, and certification bodies adapting to hybrid and digital-first evaluation models.

Grepp CEO Lim Sung-su described the alliance as “a significant turning point in building a global digital assessment ecosystem,” emphasizing the goal of ensuring fair skill verification opportunities worldwide.

Prometric’s Asia-Pacific Managing Director Humphrey Chan added that the collaboration would establish “a new standard in AI-based digital assessment,” offering more reliable and trustworthy testing environments to candidates and education providers worldwide.

Grepp – Prometric Partnership: Broader Ecosystem Significance for Korean Edtech and AI Startups

For Korea’s edtech sector, the Grepp–Prometric alliance highlights how homegrown startups are becoming critical players in shaping global education infrastructure.

By embedding AI technologies into mainstream certification systems, Korean startups are moving beyond domestic markets and entering strategic partnerships that directly influence international standards.

The deal also illustrates the growing importance of AI exam proctoring as a subset of the broader edtech and SaaS markets. With regulatory scrutiny and demand for remote-compatible testing environments increasing worldwide, the partnership positions Grepp to contribute not only to Korea’s export portfolio but also to global conversations on fairness, accessibility, and security in digital learning and assessment.

Positioning Korean Startups in the Global Digital Assessment Market

Ultimately, this collaboration also signals Korea’s deeper integration into the global edtech value chain, with startups like Grepp leveraging innovation and partnerships to scale internationally.

As AI-driven proctoring and digital assessment mature, the outcomes of this alliance could influence industry’s best practices across certification, academic testing, and professional qualification markets.
