About Us
The Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) is the only trade and professional body for awarding bodies in the UK.
There are 77 QCA part-A accredited 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. QCA Non-accredited bodies are included in this membership group.
FAB employs 3 full time members of staff and a Chairman. The executive committee strategically drives and oversees the work of the Federation. Members of the executive committee are Chairs of the 14-19 reform, credit and framework, skills for business network, and awarding bodies and centres strategic working groups.
