ODL QC, the organisation that safeguards quality in open and distance learning, has launched an interactive course search facility.

Learners looking for courses from colleges backed the ODL QC Guarantee can now simply enter a key word to see a list of the opportunities on offer.

Unlike other online databases, the ODL QC list only courses from providers whose quality has been independently verified by the Council. Learners choosing from it can be sure that they will receive a good quality distance learning package.

Elspeth Harrison, Information Officer at the ODL QC said,
"We're really pleased to be able to offer this service. The ODL QC has only ever advertised provision of proven quality, and this has made our publications very popular. The same security is now available in an easy to use online search facility."
