This is ran by Chabad and fits into their sort of "smicha programs".
However there is another program, perhaps more in depth and that covers a lot more that's been around for a while See here: http://www.shulchanaruch.com/
It is true that the program is run by a "Chabad" Rav, but the program is open to all qualified orthodox applicants regardless of hashkafa. The Online Smicha program has very rigorous requirements and goes very deep into all the mefarshim. To qualify for smicha talmidim must complete 5 sections including 1) Basar B'Chalav (Meat & Milk), 2) Ta'aruvos (Mixtures), 3) Melicha (Salting), 4) Shabbos, and 5) Pas Akum, Bishul Akum, Chalav, Akum, etc. Each of the 5 sections require several written tests and an online oral test with a Rav Masmich. A final in-person test is also required. This program is unique from others in that it offers live shirium via interactive video conferencing, video playbacks of every shiur, amazing color coded charts, mp3s for audio listening at your convenience, and much more. No such program exists today. The original post was not the video above, but rather an article that highlighted the amazing technology used for the program.
