Can someone tell me what to expect?

That sounds like an NRA Basic Pistol class, not a MA Hunter Education class. Two very different courses. A Hunter Ed class is required in order to get hunting license.Call up Mike at Tite Group Sporting in Northborough MA. 508-393-8558. He does it all in one afternoon for 70 bucks. 6-7 hours. Its no nonsense, no fluff, and he tests you on many different firearms loaded with dummy rounds to make sure you can clean the guns properly. This class will also allow you to apply for a concealed carry class A. This is handy because you also need a class A for large capacity firearms as well. I believe he runs the class every other Saturday.

Perhaps my town hall was mistaken, but I've purchased my last two sportsman's licenses with only these qualifications. I took the class a couple years ago, I'll have to dig up my paperwork when I get home.

Actually, it changed at least twice. Prior to CH. 180 of the 1998 laws, an LTC was not sufficient to get a hunting license. CH. 180 of the 1998 laws made an LTC sufficient to get hunting license. As DR points out, that was recently changed.The law changed effective this year. Now you need either a previous license or successful completion of a hunter safety course. In years past an LTC was sufficient qualification.
I suspect that the "logic" behind the current requirement is that an NRA Basic Pistol class (and also most of the other FID/LTC classes) does not cover many of the topics covered in a Hunter Ed course.
I know, I'm certified to teach BP, HFS, and PP.They don't
