There were a couple of things that I looked for:
1. Experience of the instructor.
2. Amount of trigger time - going to the range for 30-45 minutes and firing off 25 rounds didn't cut it for me so that I personally felt responsible for carrying a gun and potentially having to use it to protect myself and others.
3. A class that specifically taught not only knowledge of firearms, but specifically the use of deadly force in my state and ramifications of such.
4. Classes which will qualify you for multi-state reciprocity. I know in some states this may not be feasible, but in mine it is.
