    Warnborough UK who has been know to misinform people before denies any current connection with these enterprises.

    However, a former Malaysian student now writes:

    "ITA is selling degrees; bachelor, master & PhD for price ranging from 15,000 to 35,000. The thesis is prepared by somebody & students only required to attend 20 lectures to qualify for the degree. "

    ITA has been and probably still is one of Warnborough's learning centres in Malaysia and had a close liaison with Warnborough College, Malaysia. Apparently the latter has been registered in Malaysia by Warnborough's former representative and specialiases in fake Warnborough Certificates.

    Just another couple of Warnborough related degree mills to watch out for watch!

    Please email me for further details and/or if you have any further info on either of these, please, let me know.

    Cheers

    Do you know if Warnsborough terminated their affiliations due to the methods the overseas schools have been using?

    This is not unusual in this part of the world. Having to attend seminars but have all one's work done by someone else is common practice. Apart from anything else,this is one of the problems of having assignment only based assessment (for unaccredited and accredited schools!!!!) Can't beat the supervised exam system for sorting out the sheep from the goats!

    Oh, and the printing of diplomas is old hat! Sure beats having to pay affiliation fees to the home university,allows for the selling of degrees (pay now, collect your diploma tomorrow!) and having to conform to any discipline whatsoever.

    An unaccredited school may have all the best of intentions in the world to maintain standards, but once they allow an associate school to represent them without any audit, proper procedures or processes, or oversight whatsoever, they are doomed to be a diploma mill within 12 months. And this is what is happening all the time with associate schools overseas.

    Warnborough, ITA and Warnborough College, Malaysia

    That may be ITA's version while Warnborough may have blamed ITA's slow payments as the main reason.

    I doubt both and strongly suspect that they are still collaborating. A public divorce suited both two years ago when Warnborough stole my copyrights for the courses run by ITA.

    An other similar public parting of ways was between Warnborough UK and Warnborough College, Malaysia. The latter is now registed in Malaysia for Dr. Fong who is also a former Warnborough Malaysia representative.

    After all, Warnborough prefers to hide their potentially damaging Degree selling activities behind somebody else's name while they continue pretending to be a big and beautiful university!

    ITA is a small institute located in Sibu, Sarawak. Its website www.abadi.edu.my has been down and I have been told by ITA that they are working on the new web site.

    I can hardly believe that ITA is selling Warnborough degrees from RM15, 000 to RM35, 000 because at those prices one can purchase a University of New Castle of Australia or University of New Wales degrees from their local partners in Malaysia :)
    (Validity of these rumors is hard to confirm until I get the doctorate degree myself from them :)

    Keeping above scenario in mind Warnborough degree probably worth just around RM1500 to RM2500 or (US$400 to US$600).

    Hi Peter

    Agreed. Warnborough degrees are not worth the paper they are written on. They are not even an educational institution, let alone a university.

    Realising that, ITA is now into a couple of genuine British Unis. Obviously, the Unis concerned have no knowledge of Dr Benny's enterprise - certainly a 'Warnborough Class' operation.

    Cheers

    Re: Re: Institut Tinggi Abadi and Warnborough College, Malaysia

    Knowing something of the Asian scene, is the fee for the Australian degrees to get someone else to do the assignments and make 'arrangements' for the exams?

    AsI said in a previous email; once a school extends its operation overseas, it is in danger! The unaccredited schools turn into diploma mills; the accredited schools attracts rumours of foul play like blowflies around a rubbish tip!

    More Warnborough Scams


    Well said! Here are a few more rubbish tips:

    but let's firstly try and warn a few blowflies off the Warnborough's heap!

    •Unless you really want a fake degree or unrecognized qualification, avoid all the venues listed below.
    •If you already have enrolled demand your money back. If necessary, call Police and report the centre to your nearest Trading Standards Office or its equivalent in your country.
    •Save yourself a lot of problems and worry of being discovered in attempting to claim a false degree or qualification. In China, for example, that may lead to a 6-month prison sentence for both, the student and the person selling the fakes.
    •Get yourself a genuine degree in a genuine, recognized university.

    Learning Centres Offering Warnborough’s FE/HE Courses

    Warnborough would like to point out: “Please note that only the Centres listed below are official Warnborough University Learning Centres. Any organisation purporting to be affiliated to Warnborough University but not listed below is not an official Learning Centre.

    Please report any inconsistencies to us.”

    I wish to report the following inconsistency: Warnborough University is not listed. Is this due to the fact that the University does not exist, does not teach its own courses or has done a Warnborough College 1996 disappearing act?
