I have had first hand experience with this company and I strongly advise those of you considering the position to think everything through.

Having been in a dire financial situation at the time I first saw this offer, I went for it. In fact, I dropped everything I'd been doing up to that point in my personal business venture and went for it.

I spent about three weeks or so studying, then taking tests, then taking more tests, and then taking even more tests. After I thought I'd qualified, someone from somewhere requested that I take yet another one, and I admit I just winged it and was quite irritated at that point. Given excellent results on the previous ones, I believe I should have at the very least have been given a chance to prove myself as there's a probationary period anyway. Unfortunately, I strongly feel that I'd done some of their work for free.

They also reel you in by promising a nice sum upon successful completion of the lessons/tests.

It's your choice guys, but do think this through. The company looks and sounds legit and everything is rather well organized, but I have a hunch they're getting some of their work done for free. You should also note that everything is done remotely and the company is based in Australia, so you may want to also consider the legal implications should you not get paid.

Based on your experience, can you tell us if you ever paid any money to this company to get work?

No, never. I wouldn't have even remotely considered it had there been a payment request.
