Default how beneficial is it to take 9 month old to a puppy class?

Background story
First off, I live in Korea and their idea of trainning dog is they send dogs to the centre for 3 months and they come back all trained.
i definately did not want that for Coco and had to look online for other alternative.

After looking at expat blogs and forums i found out that at one of the army bases they offer weekly training classes. I have been getting in contact with the lady even before I got coco inquiring about these classes.

I told her when she will be done her shots and asked for the next available classes. She said end of May. Then I asked her to keep me and coco in mind and let us know. Heard nothing. I email her and she tells me that the classes are full. Then I asked her about the next class and she sai mid June. Once again I asked her to keep us in mind and let us know when the sign ups are.
Didn't hear back so I called her and she said its full. she says since the trainings are on th base she can only allow few people that doesn't have army access. Major UGGH! So I asked her when the next class is and she said late july. And I told her that we can't attend because then Coco will have 2 classes before we move back to Canada.


straight to the point
We'll be back in canada in August and I would like to take Coco to a puppy training class mid September but by then she will be about 9.5 months old. Is that too old? or Can she still benefit from puppy classes?
She knows her simple commands such as sit shake lie down no and come but she still has trouble when there are distractions. and i thought perhaps puppy classes are the way to go but i dont know
