Has anyone done the Wings Alliance "Airline Ready Course"

Has anyone done the Wings Alliance Airline Ready Course (ARC)?

I can't work out whether they are just offering a very expensive (£7.5k) MCC/JOC, or whether the additional cost compared to a "standard" MCC/JOC (which typically costs £3k to £4k) is justified by additional course content / value, or whether it is a "pay loads extra and in return you might get a chance for an interview with one of our partner airlines" method of extracting money from wannabes.

On the face of it it seems odd that an organisation promoting lower cost modular training has such a high-cost option as its only directly marketed offering - or is the whole Wings Alliance just a construct designed to channel business in to a premium-priced course which no-one would look at otherwise?

If anyone has any experience I would like to hear it. It would be great if there is real value in their offering, I'd just like to understand what it is.
