Partners

Recommend ExamStep and earn on what your learners buy

Approved partners get a personal link and a code. Anyone who comes to ExamStep through either saves 10% on their first purchase. You receive 25% of what they pay in their first 90 days, counted after refunds and the card processing fee. A person reviews each application, and commission is paid once a month.

What you would be recommending: practice for English and citizenship tests — full timed mocks and one-skill practice sets, with Writing and Speaking rated against each test's published criteria. ExamStep is not the official test. Prices, and what each pass includes, are on the pricing page.

The programme has only just opened, so there are no partner earnings or case studies to show you yet — and we will not invent any.

Who tends to join

• Immigration consultants (RCICs)

  Before a client can file, they need a language result. You can send them somewhere to practise that is marked against the test's own criteria.

• Tutors and teachers

  Students keep practising between your sessions, and each Writing or Speaking attempt is returned with a mark and the criterion behind it.

• YouTubers and creators

  If you already make videos about these tests, a link under each one saves your viewers money and earns you a share.

• Schools and institutes

  Want to buy seats for your own students instead? We set that up as its own institute account — just ask. This programme is for learners who pay for themselves.

• Settlement workers

  Many newcomers you support need CELPIP, IELTS or PTE Core for immigration or citizenship. Your code gives them the discount wherever they come across us.

Step by step

1. Apply with the form below. Every application is read by a person; none is approved automatically.
2. When you are approved, you receive a code (say MARIA) and a link ending in ?ref=MARIA. The link can point to any page on the site.
3. Someone who opens your link is remembered on that browser for 60 days. Someone who enters your code at checkout counts as well. If two partners referred the same learner, the first one keeps them.
4. Your learner saves 10% on their first purchase. Discounts never stack: when a learner has a personal offer from us as well, checkout applies whichever single discount is larger. You are credited either way.
5. You receive 25% of what the learner actually pays, net of any refund and the card processing fee, on each purchase made within 90 days of their sign-up. If their account is older than that and their first purchase uses your code, the 90 days start from that purchase.
6. Each commission is held for 30 days and becomes payable if, by then, the purchase has not been refunded or disputed.
7. Once a month, if your payable balance has reached CA$25, we send it by Interac e-Transfer or PayPal. Anything below that rolls over to the next month.
8. A private page shows your own figures: clicks, sign-ups, buyers, and commission held, payable and paid.

What earns no commission

• Purchases made by you — with your own email, account or card.
• Refunded purchases and chargebacks. If one happens after you have been paid, the amount comes off your next statement.
• Purchases made once the learner's first 90 days have passed.
• Institute seats — those are sold as a separate product.

What we ask of you

• Describe ExamStep honestly: it is practice, not the official test, and it promises no score.
• Let your audience know you earn a commission on purchases made through your link or code.
• Don't use your own code, and keep it off coupon sites.

A partner who breaks these rules can be paused. Anything already earned from genuine referrals is paid regardless.
