the distance learning one was a sign up to a program where you could take any 
of the other distance courses on that particular list free provided you did 
them within 12 months of the original sign-up... this was because your 
sign-up fee bought an access license for those 12 months.

So if there were other courses on the list you fancied it works out very 
cheap.
