I am not APDT so I am not sure about thier requirements.
BUT...puppy classes are great fun. If you can find a venue I would say go for it.
I run 3 puppy classes a week, with between 4-6 pups in each, I do 6 week courses in which we cover Watch/Leave/positions/stay/recall/loose lead walking/Instant downs.
We also talk about basic stages/learning theory and what to expect or continue with from the pups.
I make sure everyone who comes has my contact details so that if they do feel they can talk to me in class they can call me at home and offer full back up as long as they have the dog.
I am insured with PBI and am on the KCAI scheme.
Good luck with your plans.
