Course reviews: is it legit and worth the money?

You are checking a course before the card comes out, which most buyers never do. These pages are for people who want the price, the refund terms and the record in one place.

Each review gives the price and refund policy with the date we checked them, what the course includes, who runs it, documented controversies with their sources, and who it suits.

How we reviewed it: from the sales page, the terms and refund policy, court and regulator records, and what buyers report. We have not bought or taken these courses. For the people behind them, see the guru reviews.
