2026 Vision: Ready, Set, Grow!

Happy New Year from all of us at Platinum Educational Group!

If 2025 was our warm-up lap, then 2026 is where we hit full stride. We're not just turning the page on a new year—we're opening an entirely new chapter, and honestly? We can barely contain our excitement about what's coming.

Growing Stronger from Within (and Getting Bigger Too!)

This year, we're doubling down on what makes PEG truly special: our people. We're investing heavily in internal development because we believe the best way to grow as a company is first to grow our team members. But don't worry—we're also making room at the table. As we expand our footprint across EMS, Nursing, and Allied Health education, we're bringing talented new voices into the PEG family.

Platinum Planner: No Profession Left Behind

Speaking of expansion, Platinum Planner is about to become everyone's favorite sidekick across ALL Allied Health programs. EMS? Obviously, we've got you covered. But nursing, surgical tech, veterinary tech, respiratory care, dental hygiene, and medical assisting programs? Get ready. We're coming your way and bringing solutions that actually solve problems (imagine that!).

Test Banks That Actually Keep Up with You

Remember when test banks felt like they were stuck in 2010? Yeah, we remember too. That's

why we're giving ours a serious glow-up in 2026. We're talking fresh content, more technology-enhanced items that reflect real-world credentialing exams, and performance exam scenarios that'll make your students think, "Okay, this actually feels like the real deal." Because practice should always be tougher than the game.

CAT Gets a Complete Makeover

Our Computer Adaptive Testing experience is getting the full spa treatment this year. We're overhauling everything to more closely mirror the credentialing exam experience, enhance the student journey, and deliver performance reporting so robust that you'll actually want to dig into the data. When your students sit for their boards, they won't just be ready—they'll feel like they've already been there.

Platinum Testing: Plot Twist Incoming

You know how we mentioned expanding Platinum Testing beyond EMS? Well, we can't spill all the beans just yet (where's the fun in that?), but let's just say you're going to want to stay tuned.

Like, really tuned. Set a calendar reminder level of tuned.

Professional Development That Actually Develops

Professionals

Our workshop offerings and the UP EMS Conference aren't going anywhere—in fact, we're leveling them up. Because EMS providers and educators deserve professional development that's actually, you know, developmental. We're committed to creating spaces where learning happens, connections form, and coffee flows freely.

Taking the Show on the Road

If you're hitting conferences and trade shows in 2026, there's a good chance you'll spot the PEG crew. We're spreading the word about our solutions coast to coast, and we promise we're way more fun at a booth than you'd expect from an ed-tech company. Come say hi, grab some swag, and let's talk about how we can support your programs.

Your Voice = Our Roadmap

Here's the thing: we make great software, but you make it better. Every suggestion, every "have you thought about...?" conversation, every piece of feedback shapes what we build next. Keep it coming. Seriously. We're listening, we're taking notes, and we're turning your ideas into reality.

The Bottom Line

In 2026, we're not just aiming to be good at what we do. We're aiming to be the absolute best— the kind of partner that leaves a lasting impression on every profession we support. The kind of company that makes you think, "I'm really glad we chose Platinum."

So buckle up, EMS, Nursing, and Allied Health education. 2026 is going to be one for the books.

Here's to growth, innovation, and making this year unforgettable!

Respectfully,
