Yesterday, Ethos Associates was awarded re-accreditation by ODLQC. The assessor praised Ethos for their "strong commitment to quality, to educational excellence and a learner-orientated approach."

Ethos offers over 30 programmes through partnerships with FE Colleges across the UK. It has helped over 20,000 learners gain new skills and professional development in subjects from health and safety to food hygiene in the last academic year.

Dr David Morley, ODL QC Chief Executive commented that "the understanding and communication of the special needs of distance learners are well within the ODL QC standards, and in many cases significantly above our requirements."

Andy Mclvor, Director of Ethos Associates said the company is "extremely pleased to receive the re-accreditation of the ODL QC, we value our links with the Council and we look forward to continuing working with them. Carrying the ODL QC quality mark on our materials gives a clear indication to our learners and accrediting awarding bodies, of the quality standards we maintain."
