Yea, you will be able to learn so much from the VIP tutorials. The UV Planar Mapping tutorial is awesome, the modelling tutorials are awesome.... well basically its ALL awesome! You can learn a lot of shortcuts and tools from the pros here at SM . By the way, you entered just at the right time.. if you want to use the tutorials and then work on a project, you should join this months competition, which has a noobie entry level so that if you join that, you will be competing with people around your level . You should consider it because its a awesome learning experience, no money to join.. nothing like that, just a lot of fun .
