This is probably #1 on my list. I value the opinions and experience of a trusted few over just about anything else. The internet is full of "yeah that class was great" reviews, but most of the time we get ZERO feel for what if anything else the reviewer has to compare that class to.

I also look for instructors who are NOT heavily into self-promotion or advertising. Reason being if they are really that good, they shouldn't have to tell me so. None of the instructors I have trained with, or would like to train with, have flashy websites or full-page ads in Tactical Blasters Monthly, yet their courses are perpetually full. "In police work, we call that a clue."
