Are you having to pay to take the class? When my wife and I bought our masks (ocean reef neptune space g. divers, could the name be any longer) the training was included with the mask. We got two masks with comms, QD, SAV, and training for $1700. Of course post-covid, everyone seems to be willing to pay more for recreational activities so maybe it's hiked a bit.
Something to watch out for on that mask, the surface air valve tends to stick if you crank it down at all. Not that I ever deliberately cranked it down but several times I've had it unscrew from the mask instead of simply getting less tight because it was "stuck". Just a warning to be gentle with it based on my experience.
