What it is
The endorsement is separate from your written grade.
The practical endorsement confirms that a candidate has developed the required experimental skills. It appears separately on the certificate and may be required by universities for science courses.
Private candidates cannot usually complete the endorsement at home. Our laboratory sessions provide the apparatus, supervision and assessment needed to meet the required standards.

Practical endorsement questions
Can I take the practical endorsement separately?
It is normally taken alongside the A-Level science qualification. We confirm the board rules for your subject before booking.
Do I need to be enrolled at a school?
No. We support private candidates who need to complete the practical requirement externally.
Is the endorsement graded?
It is reported as a pass or not classified, separate from the A-Level grade.
