Has anyone done/heard of the Royal Lao Jump School in South Carolina?

I saw online about the "Royal Lao Airborne-US" apparently it is a school you can pay yourself and go to. If you are airborne qualified, you only need one static line jump, and if you are not airborne qualified you need 5 static line jumps. Per their website "Upon successful completion of your training you will receive 1 set of military orders, 2 Royal Lao Airborne certificates (one in Lao, one in English), 1 jump logbook, 1 Royal Lao Airborne numbered challenge coin and 1 set of subdued wings for your uniform." I am curious if anyone has done this, and if it is legit. I will include a link to their website below?

Whether the school is legit or not is one thing, whether the foreign award is eligible for wear on a uniform is another. AR 600-8-22 should show the foreign awards that are currently eligible for wear, and typically need to be noted on a 4187.

Since you have to pay for it though something tells me it's not authorized.

600-8-22 says that the Laotian Parachute Badge is authorized for wear… it looks the same as a what they give upon finishing. Seems a bit sketch.

I’d be interested if this was real. This seems way too good to be true.
