It's a good deal only if you maintain your pace for the full 12 months.
If you sign up all full of energy and enthusiasm, complete 3 courses the first month, 2 courses the second and third, and then nothing again until two more in the 12th month, you've paid over a grand for 9 courses. Which isn't terrible, but that's 50% more than you needed to spend for what you got. That's not saving anything.
I think most of us here have some experience with signing up for more coursework than we can actually complete, and we can attest to the early enthusiasm and optimism which peters out, so just be sure that you can maintain a good pace throughout an entire year if you're going to do this.
Personally, I prefer the flexibility of per-course or per-month payments, so that when life gets in the way, I don't have to also deal with the frustration of spending money and getting nothing for it.
