In my opinion, it seems sort of a last chance sort of thing - as it costs a staggering amount of money, gives little to no credit toward your future degree and still requires a performance to a certain standard. Granted that standard is lower than probably required from other entry pathways but as mentioned it will cost you an incredible amount and it does very little that other pathways do not.

I haven't done it myself though, so I can't tell you the quality of the classes and so on, sorry.

I did this course last year. It was quite alright granted I'm an overseas student and it was the shortest pre-university course which I had to do.
