From that date the Association has gone from strength to strength and it is now the foremost curriculum-based body in the FE sector. In its early years, its activities were largely confined to two or three conferences and newsletters each year, together with its now renowned Annual Conference. However, the turning point came in 1994 when the Association became established as an educational Charity. The Charity's objects are to advance education by:

  • Promoting and disseminating good practice in business education in the Further Education sector;
  • Providing appropriate staff development within the field of Business Education; and,
  • Enhancing and propagating the better promotion and teaching of Business Education nationally.
With its charitable status and revised powers there was a new influx of personnel and enthusiasm within the Executive so that further developments took place. Indeed, it was just as well that the enthusiasm prevailing at that time could be counted upon to provide a vital input of staff development to the FE sector, as in 1993, with the incorporation of institutions within the Further and Higher Education sectors, most of those HMIs responsible for these sectors moved to the two new Funding Councils, whose respective remits were very different from that of Her Majesty's Inspectorate. In short, there was no singular body left with a responsibility for staff development within the two sectors and the Department for Further Education ( as it then was) no longer had the same interest in such activities, it being left to the two sectors to fend for themselves.
