Hello Sprat,

You proceed from one or two incorrect assumptions, please allow me to explain...

I offered a cost comparison and coverage comparison.
Whatever suits anyone best based upon their needs, finances and travel habits is the route they should choose.

I can't blame him/them.
Utah training is one time / lifetime, renewal is a single page notarized form and $10. No need for retraining or to attend another Utah course.
Of course, opinions vary as to whether they will continue to permit out of state classes (has nothing to do with Instructor licensure) but historically such measures have been soundly defeated. In any case, if you obtain a Utah license now you will be able to maintain / renew it.

Again, whatever suits anyone best based upon their needs, finances and travel habits is the route they should choose _ and_ you do not "retake" a Utah class.

... hope this clears up any misconceptions ...
