Science Practical Endorsement for A Level

If you have already completed your practical endorsement with your school last year, we will be able to transfer it to this year. And you will be able to do the examinations at our centre. For us to be able to transfer, we will need the proof of your results and your UCI number you have used at the time you carreied out your practical endorsements.

If you have not done your Science Practicals, you will need to gain the endorsement to be able to take the examinations. We have a consortium agreement with one of the UK’s leading laboratories, BioGrad, to provide science practicals. Our candidates complete their Science Practical Endorsement with BioGrad and take the written examination at our centre.

BioGrad Examination Centre at Liverpool, London and Oxford

BioGrad Examination Centre at Liverpool, London and Oxdord offers a unique set of laboratory based practical endorsement courses that support all the requirements of the Biology, Chemistry and Physics assessed practicals for OCR, AQA, Pearson Edexcel, and Eduqas. The programmes have been developed by real research scientists and qualified assessors with input from exam officers to fulfil all criteria of the A-level practical endorsements. All sessions are taught in very small group sizes so that students have the opportunity to spend quality time with the scientists and have time to make (safe) mistakes, learn and try again until they are confident in their work. BioGrad laboratories are world-class research facilities and our courses are held with real scientists. The BioGrad programme is designed for students who wish to invest their time and energy into developing real laboratory skills that will ultimately get them into work/university whilst also developing their theoretical knowledge to support their A-level studies. These courses are more than just obtaining the minimum requirement to pass. Our staff spend a great deal of time and effort adding ‘extra value’ evening activities, showing students the real experiments that they use in their own work and writing references after the courses.

Please contact BioGrad directly for fees and payment plans.
