If you have the time and money to spend learning by their structure, why not, it'll give you alot of benefits you'll find handy in the future.

I'm not confident saying this but you'll probably find whatever they are teaching there for free on the internet.

I see that they offer courses by Karl Iglesias who wrote The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers which I remember preordering a long time ago, it included talks with working screenwriters, taught it was a great read.

Ultimately it comes to this:
PROS: Instructor, lectures, fast paced.
CONS: Costs money-you could find what they teach anywhere on the NET/books

Here are two screenwriting books that I really love that don't get a lot of love:

Writing for Emotional Impact and The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters by Karl Iglesias. Those two go pretty unnoticed but are really insightful.

I also really enjoy:

Directing Actors: Creating Memorable Performances for Film & Television and The Film Director's Intuition: Script Analysis and Rehearsal Techniques by Judith Weston. It really helped give me an understanding on how actors look to find their performances and has really informed how I write both dialogue and character actions.

Let the Crazy Child Write!: Finding Your Creative Writing Voice by Clive Matson is great for just untethering your inner critic in some ways.

Lastly, a bit of an unexpected one The Definitive Book on Body Language which gives some interesting insight on how people behave.
