I'm a new (1 year in) UX designer who was previously working as a front-end developer. I attended the UX intensive this year and found it really useful, mainly for the reasons you mention. I felt I had the experience and instinct relevant to my role, but the lack of formal training sometimes left me questioning my decisions and methods.
The course was really useful not only for learning but for validation of what I was already doing, which gave me greater confidence. I also learnt some really good techniques, particularly relevant if you are the sole UX person and need to communicate your work to business people. The other plus is the opportunity for networking - I met some really interesting people and it was good to hear how they were tackling similar problems to my own. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
