Go for it. The IAM training is, as has been said, all about observation and making progress consistent with the conditions. Well worthwhile.
As for speeding, on the test the examiner is assessing your observation skills amongst others. If you exceed the speed limits how can they tell if you saw the limits and ignored them on purpose, or if you missed them completely, and your observation is therefore crap?
My IAM group ride to the law when out officially, but go out with them on a non-official ride and they ride like everyone else - but usually with better planning...
