Shopping for firearm training.
is $125 a good deal for a single 4 hour private class? (no weapon rental or ammunition included, comes to about $150)

Sounds reasonable at first glance, but I would suggest that value is largely determined by the quality and reputation of the trainer.

This is true. Make sure you check out who you are training with before hand. Honestly some of the "trainers" out there should not be allowed to be near fire arms and students.
train w/ NRA certified instructors if possible, otherwise you could be attending Billy Bobs militia training (not that there's anything wrong w/ that)
I paid $38.00 for a concealed carry class in Wadsworth OH, but classes in area seem to run $100.00 - $250.00.
Find a hunters safety class.

A few years back, the guy who lived 4 doors down from me, was busted for falsifying CCW Permits in Ohio for about $300 each. I know he served some time and a long probation. I was not there but I understand the raid was pretty interesting with lots of ATF firepower onhand. The neighbors (including me) had no idea what was going on. http://www.foxtoledo.com/dpp/news/local/wupw_CCW_Bust_local_news_michelle_zepeda_august_3rd_2009
"Good" firearms training is Priceless. I would say that it's a bargain if the instructor is a good one with a good attitude. If this is to be your first ever exposure to firearms than a private class is ideal. I know CCW classes (at least here in NC) are group events geared more towards people with alot of previous experience. It's more like a check ride to move up to a faster run group than a first time track day. to use a car analogy. Private instruction moves ta your speed and get's you the best bang for the buck.
While working as a Range officer in college I did some firearms instruction on a strictly introductory level. I have often thought of going through the steps to be NRA certified as it is the most common way to become a legit instructor.
former sheriff, but no formal qualifications beyond that...
