It sounds like you are well past a basic handgun course based upon your past experience. Why pay FTA to take theirs?
We're confusing two different classes here.

FTA teaches a CCW class, and also the CA CCW class. The first one deals with the techniques and tactics of carrying concealed. This class does not satisfy the training requirement for the CA CCW (although this is good training to have if you are going to carry concealed). Since this class is a more advanced class, the General Handgun class is a prequisite.

The second class is the CA CCW class. This is the required training for a CCW once you are approved for further processing. This class does not have a prerequisite.
