I'm pretty sure all obedience classes require you to have a choke collar, at least around here. IMO they're not cruel and they DO work; you just have to learn how to use it. I use the choke collar with Daisy when I'm training with her, and she doesn't mind it. To correct them, it's just a fast snap of the collar and soon they catch on. In fact, I hardly have to correct her anymore with it. The instructor I had for Daisy, was all based on praise, and didn't believe on using food as a reward, which I liked.
