I got this in an email form REI:

Green Earth Outdoors down south has it for $100 cheaper, and you get to camp out the overnight between class days. This is thru the SOLO school.

I've also seen it offered by SOLO and held at Bradford Woods and as part of IU Outdoor Adventures, also cheaper than REI.

I don't know who is teaching this particular course but Douglas Wagoner at Green Earth Outdoors is very knowledgeable and a great guy.

Does anyone know if someone teaches the extended Wilderness First Responder course in Southern Indiana?

They offer the SOLO WFR course occasionally through IU Outdoor Adventures in Bloomington. It's offered as a "for credit" course. If you just want the certification and don't need the grade you can sign up to audit the class. Much more reasonable that way, but I forget exactly how much. The instructor has been David Calvin. He's very knowledgeable and good at what he does. His day job is firefighter/emt at a local department.

MDFI has a causality care class that would mimic many of the afore mentioned classes. Emergency Casualty Care « MDFI Much closer to people in the North of the state.

The SOLO class is EXCELLENT. Way beyond a regular first aid class. They teach you how to size up a scene quickly assess the pt, clear a C spine, improvise interventions and treatment in austere environments and how to care for a pt for extended periods when transport or evac is DAYs away. I have used the lessons I learned in that class numerous times.
