I can vouch for Pmemory being the real deal. It's really hard, and I've only actually made it part way through lesson 3 before giving up. However, once inside the students only areas of the forum, it becomes fairly apparent that people who are completing the course in the correct way are obtaining the skills that the course promises. I'm not saying it's perfect; I would rate my experience with the course a 7/10 so far. The instructors are usually prompt at answering questions and what not (I've asked four questions, 3 were answered in under two hours, the other was answered in 12). The message boards are active, but barely. Some threads get ignored and I've noticed that if you want to guarantee an answer to your question it's better to message the instructors from your mail box. Otherwise, the students are friendly and supportive for the most part. I've been confused about the wording in the course at one point during the first three lessons. In general the instructions are clear, but the wording can be hard to understand due to English not being the first language of the writer. If you want a taste for it, download the their free manual from the website - it's pretty much all written in that style.

I really want to recommend this course fully, but I believe that before I could do that it would have to clean up a fair amount. There are some really great aspects here, but the management is stubborn and slow to change things. You guys have all seen the way they tend to advertise - it can be kind of underhanded and poorly communicated - some of that feeling slips into the course. Fortunately, most of the moderators are better communicators and easier to work with. I also want to emphasize again that it is really hard - I can't imagine that it wouldn't be possible to redesign the course with a less steep learning curve, but the makers are very resistant to the idea of doing that. In conclusion, my experience and sense of the course is overall positive but there are definitely parts that are frustrating. If this review sounded more negative, it's partly because I figured people would prefer a more critical review since it's hard to get a good feel of what the course is like from most of the advertising.
