Check in with Reeds Indoor Range in Santa Clara. They offer some classes instructed by Louis Awerbuck at their range.

I know nothing about the quality of their training, but the Issuing Authority will generally give you a list of trainers whose certification they will accept.
If you're looking to apply in Santa Clara County, you need to check with the city you live in to find out which department issues, City Police or County Sheriff.
Based on what I've heard and having grown up in the BA, I'm guessing your chances are slim of getting issued, but you have to start somewhere.
edit: I just spoke with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Their policy is that you apply with the city agency where you live. They will likely deny you. Then the county will take your application. From what I've heard, they too will deny you, but until you try, you won't know for sure.
Good luck.
