What membership? I have never seen anything on their website regarding a membership.I'd recomend giving them a year's membership. You can decide whether to stay or go from there. They have plenty of stuff to learn, a lot of it included in the memership.
I've been a member for a few years.
The membership isn't actually through MALC. It's from a group called CCRT (Ran by the owner of MALC) but it will permit you discounted access to MALCs classes. More information here:What membership? I have never seen anything on their website regarding a membership.
