Whether you get points or enrolled on a course would be more to do with whether there was a course on and whether your speeding was serious enough to warrent points. Slowly people are realising that points aren't really enough of a deterent, a bit of a bump in insurance and having to watch your back if you've got 9 points but apart from that it doesn't effect you.
These driver awareness courses try to scare you into slowing down by showing you what happens if you speed, how your increased confidence at that speed is actually false by showing you how pants reaction times really are etc...
