You can collect points on a provisional licence same as a full one, and they will remain on the full licence once it's upgraded subject to the same three year application / four year appearance rules.
If offered a training course, I would jump at the chance as it is not a 'conviction' and you don't get points and in most cases you won't suffer increased premiums from your insurer for the next five years.
There's no real excuse for running in to the back of the vehicle in front: you're either not paying attention or not leaving a suitable gap, and both of those can come with a hefty penalty in terms of fine and points (it's "driving without due care and attention").
Spending the extra £20 now will save a lot of money in the longer term.
