Theres various factors to consider to get a fine print. For the print stage, if you want to blow up a photo for print, the photo(s) you want to print needs to already be in high resolution like 300ppi. Making large prints from small files will degrade quality.
"I am trying to figure out if should print the raw file directly or the JPEG to get the highest quality possible for each photo" Depends where you're printing from. I personally don't use Canon's DPP software so I can't provide input about printing with it. If you're printing from home using your own printer, you can export to the maximum JPEG or uncompressed TIFF. TIFF is preferred over JPEG when you upload it to digital print services, though to see the difference is very hard to no difference for the human eye. Though its slower uploading TIFF to any professional printing services, at times, you can make do with JPEG if the print outcome isn't overly important. Depends on the print outcome you want in the end.
"Is it possible to take an amazing shot that requires no editing at all" It's possible. Entirely up to the person if they feel the need to post-process it or not. There's different reasons for each individual to edit photos they've taken. Could just be small minor edits or corrections to big post-production adjustments. It just depends on the individual carrying it out. A great photo captured by a professional photographer will likely end up retouched in post-production to convey something before it is printed or published to a director or so. Whether you want to take a class is up to you, it'll benefit you for sure if its an area you're new to.
"if you take a Raw and Convert it to TIFF that it is a bigger size and you don't degrade the picture" Its a lossless format and bigger for compatibility that allows it to be read by most editing softwares out there
Stick with RAW when taking photos and any post-processing you do, it gives you full control over your photos. TIFF is pretty much there for versatility and flexibility in some usage or 3rd party printing services. Hope that helps.
