    I've come across this institution because of some research for a different project. I'm not at all familiar with accreditation in Ireland so the explanation on this institution's site is somewhat ambiguous to me.

    Anyone ever heard of this or able to shed any light?

    Warnborough College

    Short answer is no. They don't even claim to be in their FAQ, however they are careful to include a lot of extra verbiage and tiptoe around giving a direct answer:

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    I tried to check old versions of their FAQ using archive.org, however they have blocked archive.org from indexing their pages. (Look at their robots.txt file here ... http://www.warnborough.ie/robots.txt ... hmmm, why would they block archive.org from indexing their pages unless they had something to hide?)

    There's an old thread about them here:
    http://www.degreeinfo.com/accreditation-discussions-ra-detc-state-approval-unaccredited-schools/30478-warnborough-accreditation-update.html

    Wikipedia lists some quotes and sources for how the college & its degrees are perceived in Ireland and the US:

    Crap, I'm a total idiot for not doing a more thorough search here. My sincere apology for not doing one and a sincere thanks to emmzee for providing assistance.

    Mods, feel free to delete this entire thread. It served no purpose and I have no desire to dredge up old threads regarding this diploma mill.

    It's OK Jacob. Because all our threads are searchable an innocent mistake can help someone else. My experience is that Warnborough advertises widely. I'm afraid that these days they aim their ads towards Asia and so take advantage of many desperate people who don't understand the vagarities of Western accreditation. Anything that shines a light on this is a good thing.

    Yes - please leave this thread. I just searched for this very institution for the same reason and am grateful to have found this.

    Thanks for posting.
