Practical skills assessed in a written examination
Practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement
Module 2: Foundations in chemistry
Atoms and reactions
Electrons, bonding and structure
Module 3: Periodic table and energy
The periodic table
Physical chemistry
Module 4: Core organic chemistry
Basic concepts and hydrocarbons
