I don't think it is mandatory that you have to select a course - you just don't click into that box and select one.
Thanks for the reply Mary.
Your solution seems very straightforward, though I'm not sure I was allowed not to select a course. I'll try to leave that section of the course completion settings next time I create a course.

Unfortunately if another available course has been set to have course completion criteria it appears in this list.
There is no blank (or 'none') option within the 'courses available' drop-down list so the box cannot be left blank, i.e. a course is automatically chosen from the list even if I don't select a course.
Back to the drawing board...
Hi James,
Unfortunately there is an open bug for this http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-27114 which has yet to be completed (my fault).
In the meantime, the problem I believe you are having is that the form does not recognise a non-empty select box with nothing selected. Currently the only work around is to delete the course and create a new one.
Sorry for the bad news! I'll do my best to have another look at the patch soon.

not sure I completely understand which course to delete -- the one that is the prerequisite or the one that is dependent on it?
Hi Mia
I created a new dummy course and made this the prerequisite course for all courses. Once I had assigned this to all the courses I then deleted the dummy course. I went back into each course and clicked save. The result of this is that 'completion dependencies' is not selected in any course.
It's a slightly clunky workaround but it does work. I'm looking forward to this bug being fixed.
Regards
James
