The Lead Monitor will be accountable to the A-level Science Assessment team and will be responsible for monitoring the practical endorsement process through the training, standardising and supervision of Assessment Associates (AAs) for centre visits. Monitoring visits will take place throughout the duration of first teaching of the course (visits could be in either the first or second year of the A level). Each centre will be monitored once during the two years in one of the sciences.

The Lead Monitor will be responsible together with the subject team, for the planning, coordination and arrangements for centre visits which will be carried out on dates agreed between visiting AAs and the centre.
