Thanks to all who responded to me. I had some very good responses.
For my situation and needs, I've decided to go with JD Defense in Georgetown. He has a three evening course (6PM to 9PM) followed by a range day for the shooting requirement. It fits what I need at this time.
Thanks to Radnor and Federal Firearm.

By the way; it seems I will have PLENTY of time to get the course in before permit approval (up to 4 months
)!
