FAB's objectives are to:

• provide a forum for awarding bodies to collectively consider developments in vocational qualifications;
• formulate co-ordinated 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.

Central to our programme of work is to ensure that vocational qualifications are considered alongside general provision by all stakeholder organisations.
