If taking a CCW class and you are unsure (Or the instructor is vague on credentials) ask him before hand which sheriff's office he is on file with and they can confirm if he is registered in your local county.
Why would an instructor want to "register" with the county? That has no effect on the validity of an instructor's credentials. There is no "Certified Instructor file." You either the meet the requirements outlined in C.R.S. and have the proper documentation when asked or you don't.
