I had the honor of participating in CCWI's real life scenario simulator class today. Much has been said here about the trailer class already so I'll try to keep it short. My personal opinion/recommendation:

If you carry a gun and you had at least intermediate fireams training including malfunction drills, use of cover, etc, and you carry a gun or plan on doing so (ccw, LE, armed security, etc.) this class is a MUST for you. It is probably the second best investment you can make right after purchasing a quality firearm along with a solid carry system.

Not only do you get to experience the adrenalin rush as the active participant, all class members are 'witnesses' during each scenario. As others have said here before, you will learn a lot just from watching and trying to be a good observer.

I highly recommend this class not only for the absolutely amazing simulator set-up, which I think amounts to about 25% of the value of the training. The real value though is in the detailed de-briefing after every completed scenario provided by the instructor including re-runs, etc. This is where you are getting your money's worth.

Is there a downside: Yes there is one I can think of. It's addictive like most things involving high amounts of adrenalin, which means you will want to do it again. And again....
