My sister had NIE 2015 books, got into med this year. She said that she found their course to be more relevant and easier to follow than another online umat course she signed up for as well. She said that due ti time constaring eventually she ended up using the NIE books only, and didn't bother about the other online course. I am trying for med this year myself and purchased their 2017 course, and books appear to be mostly different than what my sis had. There are lots of courses out there, I would probably recommend speaking to the company directly when doing you research. Forums are known for providing lots of misleading info when it comes to umat courses. A friend of mine used to work for a umat company, and he told me that they used to ask their casual workers to regularly create different accounts on various med forums to rubbish other umat courses and upmarket their own. So good luck and of course be careful. If you have your eyes set on a course, just give organisation a call, and get a feel for them, that's what i did.
