The FAB Awards recognises the contributions made by awarding organisations and their employees to education and skills in the UK over the past year. It’s the pinnacle awards ceremony, celebrating a world-class sector that issued more than 10 million certifications last year.
Now in its 8th year, the FAB 2023 Awards dinner, sponsored by Advanced Secure Technologies, is being held at the end of the first day of the FAB Conference, on 30th November, at the Marriott Hotel, in Leicester.
Commenting on the awards, John McNamara, Interim Chief Executive of the Federation of Awarding Bodies said: "We are thrilled to once again receive a remarkable number of high-quality nominations for the FAB 2023 Awards.
These awards continue to highlight and honour excellence in the awarding and assessment sector, while recognising the efforts of both individuals and teams in advancing qualifications, as well as fostering innovative and inclusive approaches.
Earning a spot at the FAB Awards is a significant achievement, and I wholeheartedly congratulate all finalists and wish them the best of luck.”
