Most likely you are seeking specialized force-on-force training with air soft. There are self-defense firearms schools that just teach that kind stuff. It is expensive and you need to seek it somewhere not in your town.

Just out of curiosity, why would you need to "seek it somewhere not in your town?"

However, you could cover a lot of different kinds of scenarios, and I think it would be valuable training just to get you thinking in the right mindset. My CHL class *talked* about a few scenarios, but talk is just talk. It would be interesting to do role-play with situations that are representative of things you would encounter. Just thinking of a few off the top of my head: home invasion, carjacking, mugging, mall shooting, parking garage, etc. It would be interesting to have scenarios where the best action is to shoot, and scenarios where the best action is to run away, or scenarios where the words escalate/de-escalate the situation. It has been clearly established that people learn better when doing compared to just hearing about something. *Some* CHL role-playing would have to be better than nothing.

A tactical class would probably have some benefit, but it seems like it would cover different material, and would have different attitudes - bodyguard duty, clearing a room, tactical reloading, concealment, etc.
