ABE Diplomas are aligned to the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Subject Benchmark Statements. All ABE qualifications are part of the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF).
ABE has an outstanding history and an excellent global reputation. The content and format of our qualifications are the outcomes of extensive research that explored the knowledge and skills employees need to possess in order for businesses to succeed.
ABE is regulated by Ofqual who also manages the Regulated Qualifications Framework, which ABE Diplomas are accredited against. Qualifications within the RQF must be leveled against the RQF level descriptors to ensure they are broadly similar in the knowledge and depth of understanding required to pass them. The size and the content of qualifications at the same level can vary. The diagram below shows how the levels progress.
