FTA's general handgun class is worthwhile, it's not a waste of money. But if you're tight on money, it doesn't have to be done.
FTA MAKES you take the basic class in order to take the CCW class, regardless of any other prior classes you may have taken with other trainers. That is why I recommend Firearms Training as 1buba pasted in a link above. His CCW class is just that.

It sounds like you are well past a basic handgun course based upon your past experience. Why pay FTA to take theirs?
