About Us
The Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) is the trade federation and membership organisation for vocational awarding bodies in the United Kingdom
There are 97 Ofqual recognised awarding bodies that are full members of FAB. These range from awarding bodies that issue less than 2,000 certificates to those issuing over 50,000 certificates, and they represent a range of sectors.
FAB also has an increasing number of associate members who are stakeholder organisations that are keen to become more closely involved with the work of the Federation. Non-Ofqual recognised bodies are included in this membership group.
The main objectives of FAB are to:
- provide a forum for awarding bodies to collectively consider developments in vocational qualifications
- formulate coordinated action in response to developments
- encourage positive relationships and communication between awarding bodies and other key organisations
- establish an ongoing dialogue with the UK Government and its agencies to represent the common interests of the Federation and to lobby on key issues
