A level Science practicals

Practical endorsements exam centre information

For information on when the practical sessions are offered, please contact the centre directly.  

The UK Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels  contain a separate Practical Endorsement. A minimum of 12 practical activities need to be carried out by each student to show competence in the 12 practical techniques listed in the syllabus. 

The result of the Practical Endorsement (either ‘pass’ or ‘fail’) is reported separately on the A level certificate, in addition to the overall grade for theory. 

You will find a list here of the UK exam centres offering the Practical Endorsement. You may take the written exam at the centre where you take your practical endorsement, but you don’t have to do so.   

We offer a wide range of A level subjects including Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
