I have taken the general course; there is some indication that NFHS/ or state assns. may try to push for a certification/ licensure scheme involving this curriculum.
I was not impressed, either with the content or the online format, and I definitely did not think it was worth $75.00. The sport-specific courses are not out yet, except, I believe, for Softball. This is several months behind the schedule they had advertised. Don't know why: maybe something for the news noses @Officiating.com or the "other" publication?
FWIW, I have taken continuing education/ professional development classes online before which were MUCH better. This one is not a lot more than a restatement of the text, with a couple hokey film clips thrown in for multimedia content. Doesn't look like there have been a whole lot of students signing up. Last time I looked, there were, like, two of us in my state who had completed the course.
