The reason I'm considering it is solely to reduce my premiums next year. The way they'll see it is an 18 year old lad causing an accident in his stereotypical young lads car, a 306. 
While there may be things I learn from the course that may make me a better driver, I don't expect to get 25+ years of driving experience condensed into a short course that will bypass the fact that I've only been driving for about 15 months (9 provisional, 6 with a full license).
It's just really ironic that I've never had anything close to an accident whilst driving on the road, even when I used to give it a bit more gun than I do now. May have been luck, but I'd never drive dangerously or in traffic, there's a time and a place. Then I go and have an accident outside my mates house on a road that nobody ever seems to use
It's something I'll have to look into more, with quotes always changing (usually increasing) it may either become a necessity or a waste of money. My renewals not till July next year anyway aha!
