The Warnborough mission is to advise, encourage and enable those who value quality education, knowledge and learning to meet their academic goals through distance learning, onsite learning or blended learning.
Since 1973, the co-founder and president of Warnborough College, Dr Brenden D Tempest-Mogg has upheld the philosophy that education should be available to all, and that lifelong learning should be valued and recognised. In 2015 a need was met to enable mature high-end individuals to have their career, academic achievements, and skills formally evaluated by expert assessors following the highly recognised European Qualifications Framework (EQF) which is compliant with the European Qualifications Standards (EQS).

This is an amazing book about a journey along a rocky road, where faith, commitment, and focus have been paramount. Dr. Brenden, an aspiring youth from the Sydney seaside suburb of Manly, persevered with his studies and graduated from four universities. While at the University of Oxford, he was inspired to provide the same unique experience of Socratic learning to overseas students. Together, with his mother, Ethyl, they pioneered an educational concept in 1973: Warnborough College.
Today, Warnborough College is worldwide and flourishing, thanks to aspiring students, quality faculty, dedicated staff, and many friends who have contributed to its expanding vision.
This book is the story of how a vision, coupled with hard work and determination, can change many lives.
REVIEW
“As I read the book, I found that I could not put the book down. It was so very interesting to see how your life and the birth of Warnborough came to be today. Your family. especially your mother, who founded the very beginnings of Warnborough College, together with your sister and brother’s support throughout the rows and rows of bricks – one on top of another in the lengthy process of years to your waiting dream of this magnificent institution, to open all minds of various races and financial status. However, Dr. Brenden had a more compassionate quest in mind; he wanted to welcome and assist the less financially sound students, and to this day I thank you Dr. Brenden for accepting me as one of the poorer students. Yes, Dr. Brenden, you have a heart, and that is why Warnborough College has been successful and will continue to be the epitome of all the educational institutions worldwide. Bravo Warnborough! We must not forget Dr. Brenden Tempest-Mogg. – the inspiration of it all.” Dr. Rose Grimaldi, New York , USA (3rd November 2020)
Now in its third printing to mark the 50th Anniversary of Warnborough College since it was founded in Oxford in 1973.
