Prerequisites

Students must be studying GCSE Chemistry with AQA, Edexcel or OCR by distance learning or at a further education centre.
Our course is an intensive, practical course to support students to successfully achieve their practical assessments. Students can attempt each of the assessed practical technique a limited number of times during the course.
Frobel Education recommends that students with limited prior practical laboratory experience consider the 1 day ‘Introduction to Laboratory Skills’ which offers the chance to gain the skills and expertise required to be successful in their assessment.
