Students cancelled, instructor offering 1 on 1. Would you?

[FamilyMan]

I was supposed to take a one day carbine course this week with a few other students. Just got word they all cancelled, but instructor is offering to still hold it for me 1 on 1. Next carbine course they are offering is in the fall.

Is 1 on 1 a good idea, or would I be better served in a class environment?

I can't imagine how one-on-one time with a qualified instructor would in any way be worse than sharing that same time with several other people.

This. If he a good instructor there should be no way you don't get a good deal of training from that. I jump on it myself.

The instructor is a recognized/awarded LEO instructor and competitor. I will jump on it in that case. Just curious if there were any downsides.

Your gonna shoot more ammo and get to run more drills then what would have happened in the class.

This. Not the same, but this happen with my ccw class and it worked out great, guy ended up covering a lot of extra material with me due to minumum hourly requirements. I'd definately do it. That said I'd probably throw some extra money at him since your his only source, but that's just a personal thing. You should be getting much higher quality of training being 1 on 1 if he's good

I can't think of any reason a private lesson would be less beneficial than a group setting.

Look at everything else...one-on-one lessons for athletics, musical instruments, etc. are usually always more expensive because you get the instructor's undivided attention and you don't have to worry about anyone else slowing you down, etc.

You have his full attention you will gain way more experience compared to probably 2 classes

He is only watching and paying attention to you

If he isnt telling you specifically what to do differently, then it would be bad

1 on 1 is a great opportunity. I also agree with tossing the instructor a few extra bones.
