It all depends on the instructor. Some are very good and others aren't worth even a second of your time 
Sorry, but that's how it goes.......if the instructor is older you have a better chance of learning something. The younger ones usually are *right out of class* themselves and know ONLY what they learned.
I LOVED my Wilton classes, the first night my instructor told us about CC and between the two I was hooked!
You can't help but learn something from the classes--even if what you learn is what you don't like or what not to do.
The dedicated hours, exposure to others with a similar interest, experience with new tools or materials, etc., is invaluable.
The classes near me are 40% off right now at Michaels and if you have coupons, you can get many of your supplies cheaply.
If you can swing it, go play with the others---some things are just so much easier when you see someone do something as they explain it.
