I'm quite interested myself.
"The amount paid for the voucher does not expire. The remaining promotional value of the voucher above what you paid for is valid through 4th December 2013 and will expire immediately after such date"
It looks from this that you have until this date to complete the course.

Im quite tempted, looks good providing its not really basic i.e. explaining aperture and shutter speed.

Yeah it does seem that way. Theres a review here: http://www.ephotozine.com/article/ephotozine-goes-on-the-photography-institute-course-13819
It makes it seem quite basic.

I've just read that and can't decide if it's the same course. The one on here is by "Institute Of Photography" the one in the review is run by "Photography Institute" :shrug:

it is a different course however offers more or less the same structure with the same final assessment (photos reviewed and feedback/score given).

FWIW, as it's not a proper qualification and is e-learning, you may as well get a photography book or a monthly photo magazine and do follow tutorials that way.
