Federation of Awarding Bodies

It was founded in 2000.

It represents providers of technical vocational education qualifications, not providers of general academic qualifications such as A Levels and GCSEs. ^[1][2]

While the Federation has a mailing address in Grosvenor Square, London, the staff are home based. As of 2023, FAB has 8 members of staff and Board of 2 co-chairs, a treasurer and 9 non-executive directors. It represents 117 full members and holds two flagship conferences each year, one of which is dedicated to End Point Assessment (EPA), most commonly associated with apprenticeships.
