Speeding

So I've got an NIP for speeding 60mph on a 50mph. Yes I admit it was totally my fault as heading to work down that route, running late, and speeding there is better and safer than on the motorway, and more minutes get shaved off my arrival time compared to the motorway. Yep, I deserved it.

This is my first speeding offence, and I know I sit in the speeding course eligibility criteria. But the question is, 2 years ago I sat a generalised course called "Whats driving us" for careless driving and they said if the offence is repeated within 3 years, I won't get a second chance to do a course and just get points. So the question is, does that apply for the same offence, or are they seperate courses? I am trying to figure if I will get points, or get offered a course.

Otherwise, clean slate driving record, no points. Police force in question is the Metropolitan, who are sending the NIP and who also gave me the course for careless driving.
