Acceptthe initial offer of the course which will stop you getting a NIP. Then when they give you a date to attend contact them and ask for a later date as this one clashes with something like a holiday or wedding etc, when they give you a new date, wait until you've a few weeks to go and then contact them again for a new date. with a bit of luck by the time they give you a new date it will be outside of the timescale when they can prosecute you and it will just disappear. It does work, but you have to know what you are doing to make it go away.
If you do attend then sit at the back and keep your gob shut and accept the testicles they spew out, as if you start disagreeing with their statistics etc they can end up charging you the 60 quid to attend and still giving you points, it happened to a couple of mates who disputed the rubbish they were spouting, they were told that due to their attitude they would still be prosecuted, so ended up with a 60 quid dollop for the course and then a fine and points when they went to court.

I argued like fcuk when they started spouting stopping distances and how you couldn't stop in time.
But, they wouldn't be told that a bike stops quicker than a car, so decided Fcuk it, and just kept my gob shut and listened to the testicles they spew for a couple of hours.
Gave them a sh!te report at the end though...
