Choose your instructor wisely. It's not all that hard to get a training certification, and you really don't want your instructor to be some n00b who just belches out shit you could watch yourself on a YouTube video.
Pick somebody with serious, verifiable credentials - a cop or combat veteran. Somebody who's been there and done that, not just read about it. It may cost more and you may have to travel farther than you'd like, but the time and expense will be worth it.
When I had to recertify, I went to the local gunshop for the convenience. The instructor basically went through the state's required bullet points, but that was it. She offered nothing new or terribly useful. Zero insight into the serious issues someone who carries can run into. I also easily outshot her and everybody else there. That certainly wasn't the case with the guy I got my initial training from.
