Thanks @manarh for this link

I checked Hartlepool Council website this morning and there were plenty of virtual course dates available- £73 saving £19 compared to the course offered by my local police authority.  .

Thanks to OP and those that posted a new link, both of which have now gone to the 404 black hole.

I 'had reason' (ahem) to book a speed awareness recently. Not surprisingly, they are all now being delivered online. However, there's a big difference in price between the cheapest and the most expensive - £20 difference. Since they are all online - it doesn't matter the 'location' of the one that you book, so really there's no need to pay any more than you have to.  Since the website doesn't make it all easy for you to compare prices between course providers, I I put the information online and made it seachable - http://cheapestspeedawareness.ml

Hope that it helps someone out!

Dear OP
If I may ask and you are at you liberty to ignore. What police force handed you the course and what spped where you doing in what speed zone  and were conditons good, ie weather, not raining not a lot of people around and is this your first encounter with accidentally speeding and been pulled up etc.  Just want an idea please as around london we also have many 20mph zones and so easy to creep slightly over that especially when a van is driving right up ones rear bumpers.

The criteria for offering a course are widely publicised, and have nothing to do with weather, road conditions, "a lot of people around", or previous offences.

They are (1) speed not exceeding 110% of the limit plus 9 mph, and (2) not having attended the same course in the preceeding three years.

The only force in England or Wales which does not subscribe to the national scheme is Dorset.

Also, as an "advanced driver"  I am sure you are aware that the correct response to "a van is driving right up ones rear bumpers" is to slow down, not speed up.

My husband went on one these courses a few months ago.  It was in Dorset 😹😹😹

Dorset run their own courses. They're not part of the national scheme.
