    With everyone locked indoors at the moment thought it might be worthwhile to share a link to free courses available through the Open University.

    Ever fancied learning French but didn't have the time?
    Oui? Well now you can start

    Wanted to learn about the basics in accountancy for your small business but were too busy running it?
    Here's your opportunity.

    Always wondered why @cidermaster starts so many threads at 3am when he's on the swally and why they all have more question marks than letters?
    Sorry, that remains one of life's mysteries at the moment.

    Pretty cool. Have always wanted to learn Gaelic. There's a course there that seems to study Gaelic and its roots etc, rather than teach the language though; might give it a bash anyways.

    I found this earlier...full of free courses. You can buy accreditation for many. There's a huge range from basic stuff to professional continued learning.

    Scroll down past the advert on the link to get to the search box.
