A Level Chemistry: Practical Endorsement Training
This new self-paced training course, created by the Pearson Edexcel Science team, is designed to support teachers in delivering the Core Practical element of our A Level Chemistry qualifications.
Heads of Department must complete this training, and it is highly recommended that all staff in the department – particularly new teachers – complete this training too. Our learning portal allows you to work through the course in your own time, saving your progress as you go. This flexible approach means it can be used in a variety of different ways from INSET days to individual CPD.
