I'm also an NRA certified instructor. And the Basic class is, indeed, basic. That's the idea.
Folks who have been around guns for a while tend to forget how mysterious they can be for someone who is new to them. The fundamentals are, however, very important; and safety is vital.

And yes, it's all in the book. But IME, nothing is as good, or as efficient, as qualified, hands-on, in person instruction.
