ODL QC Accredited Providers offer courses across the whole range of subjects, using their experience and ingenuity to support topics as varied as computing, child care, complementary therapies, copywriting, cartoons, catering or counselling.

Each week, a different course is selected to illustrate this diversity

The original series of "course of the week" ran in 2001-2; details of courses featured then and still available are on the 2002 list, whilst details of all courses offered by Accredited Providers can be found in the full Courses Index.
