We offer A Level Physics practical endorsements for candidates who need an approved exam centre to assess their practical competence.
Our Physics practicals are delivered in accordance with UK exam board and JCQ standards.
The Physics practical endorsement assesses a student’s ability to:
take accurate measurements,
use experimental apparatus,
record and analyse data,
evaluate uncertainty and errors.
It is essential for students applying to:
Engineering
Physics
Natural Sciences
Technology-based degrees
Our Physics practical endorsements include:
Mechanics experiments
Electricity and circuits
Waves and optics
Materials and measurements
Data analysis and uncertainty
We offer:
A Level Physics AQA practical endorsement
A Level Physics Cambridge practical endorsement
A Level Physics Edexcel practical endorsement
A Level Physics OCR practical endorsement
A Level Physics WJEC practical endorsement
Private candidates
Home-educated students
International students
Distance learners
Resit candidates
Physics A Level Practicals usually take place in March each year
Conducted at our Physics A Level London exam centre
Physics practical endorsement Sessions typically run 10:30am to before 4pm
Timetables issued in advance
We focus specifically on A Level Physics practicals. This means:
Expert science staff
Good lab facilities
Great assessment methods
Our Physics practical endorsements are accepted by universities, including those highly ranked ones.
Our physics laboratory facilities are located in London. We regularly host candidates visiting from across the UK and overseas.

The A Level science practical endorsement is reported as Pass or Fail. While most candidates pass, it is important to understand what happens if a student does not achieve a Pass.
No. The practical endorsement does not affect your A Level grade.
However, it is reported separately and many universities require a Pass as a condition of entry to science-based courses.
If a candidate does not achieve a Pass:
the A Level grade still stands,
but university options may be restricted,
resitting the practical endorsement may be necessary.
This is why it is important to complete practicals in a properly supervised, exam-board-compliant environment.
Candidates assessed at our London exam centre benefit from:
structured practical sessions,
experienced science staff,
clear assessment criteria,
correct laboratory conditions.
This significantly reduces the risk of failure.
Yes. Candidates who need to retake a practical endorsement can arrange this in a future session, subject to availability and exam board rules.
