What are you looking to learn? Are you looking for basic first aid? Or do you want to know how to start IV's, king airway, occlusive dressings, ect.
I'm sure I could help you out with what you need. I'm not a certified instructor however being a Fireman/EMT-A in DC for the 14 years, most of that time in the ghetto I have been on more shooting/stabbing calls than I can remember.

Dark Angel Medical has a class in Chantilly VA the first weekend in October. If you don't buy their kit the class is $345 + $35 site fee.

I was placed in a bad situation on Saturday and was the only person able to somewhat take charge. I do not like relying on others in times of crisis as they tend to fail you. I want to know how to save someone life from most major severe trauma.
Dark Angel would be the one to take, so I hear.

Start with basic red cross first aid/CPR course and go from there. Always start with the basics.
Why do that when he has $400 for training and basic red cross doesn't cover most of this listed. Pretty sure he is MAINLY concerned about GSWs.
If I had the cash, why not? Dark Angel is a good outfit. 2 day course in Chantilly.
The course covers the following:
Physiological and Psychological reactions to environmental stress
The importance of having the proper Combat Mindset
Basic Anatomy and Physiology of life-sustaining systems
H, A, B, C’s—Hemorrhage, Airway, Breathing and Circulation
Breakdown and usage of Individual Med Kit components
Proper stowage and employment of the IMK
Hands-on application of the IMK
Basic and Advanced Airway management -treating and monitoring tension pneumothorax, sucking chest wound and flail chest
Airway adjunct device placement-Nasopharyngeal Airway
Basic First Aid and Advanced wound care
Application of Bandages and Hemostatic Agents
Application of tourniquets
Recognition and Treatment of various injuries (Gunshot, Laceration, Burn, Airway, Head, Orthopedic, Environmental)
Recognition and treatment of hypovolemic (hemorrhagic) shock
Moving and positioning victims with various injuries
Response to active shooter situation
Proper use of cover and cover vs. concealment
Casualty recovery in an Active Shooter situation
Mass casualty triage procedure
Emergency Medical Dialect/Lingo (911 protocol, cooperation with LE, Fire and EMS and First Responders)
Hardware/Kit
Good portion of that list is somewhat advance.
He has the money.. Sure.. Does want to start driving ambulance also? (I know most of us do).
Just my two cents. You cant really jump in advance mode if you don't know the basic. The list covers a lot for two days class.
If I'm the victim.. I sure don't want anybody shoving something in my mouth or poking needles on me when the guy just had two day class training.
I'm just the opposite. I'd rather have someone who just took an advance GSW course to aid a shot wound and not someone who just mastered the mildest portions of basic first aid.
Most ranges here are near civilization, so really no airway or pneumothorax tension release would be needed.
If I were out on my property in Western Maryland, I would prefer a newbie with this course than the dude who went to his local VFD to the basic first aid class.

Wife and daughter(Fed employees) both are certified by red cross all the way up to Electro-shock(not sure if I'm using the correct term) defib. All taught by Red Cross, free including recerts every year. If it's free, what's the burn? I'm merely suggesting a place to start, not end.

Could I ask a simple question, how many of you were boy scouts? I had extensive first aid training with that and it has been augmented in my career as an engineer with site safety and training for construction accidents.
how much more would training like you guys are talking about add to my knowledge?
90% of what was listed I have already had extensive training on, including CPR/AED and first aid. One thing that is not listed is improvised transport and treatment aka, you don't have your kit what can you use..

I was a BS and I expect a significant part of that instruction has been made obsolete. For instance my snakebite kit with suction cups and tourniquet is obsolete.
