I actually teach this course as well, although I doubt I will have another class until spring. One thing I would recommend, no matter who teaches your course: verify the laws yourself. Don't take anyone's word for everything....and that includes any police officer teaching it. If you ever follow CCW forums, you will find there are tons of cops who do NOT know the law. Those laws are also subject to change and the Ohio legislature is working to make things better for us by adding new laws and changing existing ones, so it is up to you to keep track of what is going on.

Ohio actually has reciprocity with quite a few states. As mentioned above, Ohio mainly does not honor CCW from states that do not require training that they feel is as "adequate" as ours. There are some non-resident licenses you can get after you have an Ohio and in some cases you can get a non-resident license and not get the Ohio one. I do NOT recommend that. It is the lazy approach and there are states out there that do not accept non-resident licenses even though they accept the state you got it from.
