Yeah, it's real. The $500 wavers last until this new school year, May 2008, when the course must be completed. They started the waiver process last year.
The course is obviously for profit. It is only held at one location here in Bangkok, which will be very convenient for all those working in the rest of the country.
This is the official outline and registration in PDF format. It also has a nifty little brochure attached to it.

It is CONFIRMED - immigration will NOT extend any visas without it. However, they are making a few exceptions as the rule went into effect just last week. It is clear though, they will not extend any this March/April when the majority of us will be going through the annual process.
