ABC Awards is currently the only national awarding body which offers the Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art, Design and Media at both Level 3 and 4.  ABC Awards is holding a series of events across the country in June to introduce the new qualifications at Levels 3 and 4.

These events are aimed at extending support to centres currently offering FAD qualifications and to explain the structure and content of the new qualifications.  Both ABC and non-ABC accredited centres are invited to attend. The events will bring together fellow professionals in the field as well as new centres interested in finding out about the qualifications.  They will provide an opportunity to discuss the new assessment processes and discover other qualifications which support and complement the Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art, Design and Media.
