The Evening Hatch has grroup casting lessons once a year. Beginner and a followup Intmediate. Pretty inexpensive. So i signed up. I signed up for the Intermediate. They wanted me to take the beginner class. So rather than argue i did.
People who showed up (about 12 is the limit) sucked at casting. But hey its beginner right. So everybody was to practice what they were instructed for a month which was the followup intermediate class. Same stuff different month .... people cast like crap. Instructor ran around putting out fires. So for any reasonable coordinated person it was a waste of money and I told the Shop it sucked. They hemmed and hawed about learning curves and other bullshit.
So lesson here is get a private lesson and avoid the freak show.

Otherwise it is a good Fly Shop and I took a Intermediate Fly Tying class there about 12 years ago. The class was really good.

I was looking for something that might interest new angler clients as I'd rather see them take a class before spending 8-10 hours in a boat getting frustrated. I can help them but being a little more proficient before trying to fish would be helpful.

Also looking for chance to participate in casting comp without driving 4 hours each way. Curious to see how I'd fare.
