Science A Levels for private / external candidates

I'm looking at taking A levels in biology, chemistry, physics and maths through an online college but does anyone know of any exam centres (that also let you do the practical endorsements) in or close to Scotland? The closest I can find is Bolton (a 4 hour drive) which I can do if I have to, but because of some other commitments I would have to drive there and back in the one day, so a bit closer would make things easier! I've looked at loads of lists of centres that are supposed to do it, but most of them don't offer the practical endorsements for the sciences

I had never thought of going into vet med when I was at school so I didn't take the advanced highers. I left school 6 years ago and I'm hoping to do the A-levels and get in that way, because there isn't a way to take advanced highers once you've left school
Just googling there is this school in Edinburgh that also operates as an exam centre https://www.basilpatersonschool.co.uk/exam-centre/.

Also, this seems to cover all of Scotland https://all4kidsuk.com/exam-centres-gcse-a-level

Maybe have a look for where you are in Scotland - some schools/colleges near you may also operate as private exam centres and have something in place for the practical endorsement.

Else, you could try asking the exam centre in Bolton if they know of any Scottish ones that will help (was in Tutors & Exams? I used those for science A-levels and you did the practical endorsement over a week (per subject). They were very helpful, so might help).

Good luck with it.
