	== This article was mentioned in a Slate podcast ==

	Slate podcasts recently released a podcast as part of their "One Year: 1995" series: . It's a story about the deceptive marketing tactics of Warnborough College. In the podcast it is reported that the administration of this college have accused certain Misplaced Pages editors of being a "cartel". --] (]) 18:36, 23 November 2021 (UTC).

	::Interesting podcast, sheds significant light on how the 1987 BBC radio expose precipitated the financial crisis which led Warnborough to the disastrous decision to hold itself out as a 4-year college and the aggressive and misleading marketing to US students. Also, there was an interesting article in Spy many years ago about the Australia program with similarly misleading marketing. I added a bit from both sources to the article. ] (]) 20:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

	== Profit v Non-Profit ==

	Several SPA's have changed the infobox to state that Warnborough College is a non-profit, and to list the Warnborough Foundation, without any reliable source to back up those changes.

	Warnborough College Ltd is a for-profit corporation in the UK. Its annual reports filed with Companies House in the UK shows that it is a for-profit corporation which pays tax on its profits.

	Perhaps the SPA editors are referring to the recently-formed Warnborough Foundation in making the non-profit claim. The Foundation is registered as a charity in the UK.. However, there are no independent reliable sources as to the existence or operation of the foundation, so it would be a violation of ] to include information on the foundation in the article. And, it is, to put it most charitably, misleading and confusing to conflate the foundation with the college on this question of fact. ] (]) 16:19, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Anachronist The IEAC is another body that accepts payment for accreditation. I still do not see HETAC or NQAI accreditation (the OP can please feel free to provide evidence of such!), and therefore effectively their qualifications are currently non-useful.
