I took the NRA Basic course a few months ago. I too am self taught. A lot of it was review, but I did pick up a few things. For $50 I think it would be worth going to.

As with anything... it depends on the teacher and student relationship.

You would be surprised what you will learn from a "refresher" course such as the NRA BAsic Pistol Course.

My wife and I took the class a couple of years ago. We had a great time and learned a lot.

If its by the book they'll go over:

Safety
Types of firearms (revolver/semi-auto)
Types of actions (SA/DA/DAO)
Cleaning
Range rules
Proper sight alignment
Propert grip, stance (sitting bench wrest, standing 1 and 2 hand) , breath control, trigger discipline.

It'll be from the perspective of target shooting but its well worth the money even if it just ends up being a refresher in the basics.
