the USCG Aux had long stopped giving the celnav class when I took their
coastal nav class, in March 1991 according to my certificate on the wall...

FWIW, in March 2001 I took the "Introduction to Celestial Navigation" class
from Ocean Navigator School of Seamanship.  instructor (Andy Howe) was
excellent, materials were good for both teaching and reference, and lately
the occasional refresher.  and the catering from Greens Restaurant in San
Francisco was excellent!
