Hi Abe,
I noticed you sent me an e-mail, which I just wrote back to. However, I wanted to post my response on the GMAT Club forums just in case anyone else has a similar question.

Manhattan GMATmichael@manhattangmat.comThanks for your interest in
Manhattan GMAT! While you are indeed correct that we don’t offer in-person classes or tutoring in Australia, the Guided Self Study option is a thorough class that covers the same exact material and classroom sessions that an in-person could does, just without a live instructor.
We provide students with access to the Guided Self Study Plus for 6 months initially, but if you need more time with the package, we will provide you with an additional 6 month extension to your online resources, so you effectively have access to the package for a year. Your online resources include access to class recordings, question banks, online labs, CAT exams, syllabus information, and a variety of other resources like access to GMAT Write. A set of
Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guides, the 3 Official Guides for GMAT Review, Test Simulation Booklet & Marker, and Stopwatch.
Also, I’d be glad to extend $100 off the Guided Self Study package. There are two ways we can go about this. The first, and preferred way, would be to call our offices. We have a Skype handle that forwards to our main phone line, so if you download Skype, you’ll be able to call us for free. Our handle is m.gmat, but you can also call us directly through Skype by clicking on the “Call Now on Skype” link at the footer of our webpage. The second way would be to provide you with a $100 refund after your transaction is processed. Please note that the refund can take up to 2 weeks to go through, so this method is a little slower.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
