In my state people are taking the CCW classes without firing a shot. That makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Most mandated CCW classes came about as compromises to speed up legislative approval for concealed carry. Like many political wrinkles, they weren't very well thought out, and the people who instituted them didn't know the criteria very well.

That's why we have mandated classes that are expensive, time-consuming, and useless. I've sat through a couple.

I've never seen data showing that states requiring such classes have fewer acts of negligence than those that don't.
