Having taught with Rich for several years, it is a privilege to continue offering the same certification programs, pricing, and materials to his loyal customers in; daycares, schools, Weld County Foster Parents, businesses, and workplace settings throughout Colorado. We have maintained the same approvals for daycares and teachers through Colorado Shine, as well as training units through CCWP and CO Department of Public Health and Environment.
Two-year certification programs include:
We hold open classes and skills checkoff sessions monthly for individuals with home daycares, foster parents, or others not part of our group classes. Class locations include Boulder, Greeley, Broomfield, Loveland, and Fort Collins.
Contact us by calendar message, email, text, or call to sign up for our open classes.
(Open classes may be canceled or rescheduled if less than three people are registered. Please let us know you are planning to attend.)
For group classes of three or more people, we can schedule a program to meet your needs at your location. Program minimum price of $200 plus mileage may apply. See Pricing Options for details.
We offer nationally recognized scenario-based certification through Health and Safety Institute (HSI) with approvals for government agencies, national corporations, unions, associations, etc. It is the same 2020 ILCOR standards we teach through Heartsmart Training Center, except with high quality video training support, student manuals, and digital certification cards. Student materials are offered in English or Spanish, and certifications are comparable to AHA and Red Cross! Please contact us if pre-approval is needed.
Scenario-based certification programs include:
AVERT - Active Violence Emergency Response Training
Active violence and mass shootings occur hundreds of times every year in the United States, most of which occur in the workplace. Retail environments, places of worship, festivals, sporting events, or open public locations are also potential settings for active violence. We cannot even go to the grocery store or enjoy a movie without needing to know what to do in case of an act of violence.
We empower you and your team to react in these emergency situations to mitigate loss of life and limb. Unlike other training programs that focus solely on Run, Hide, Fight techniques; AVERT uses dynamic methods to teach proactive awareness, to react and protect yourself and others in a violent situation, and how to respond to severe injuries that are often a result of these occurrences.
Programs can range from a large group presentation to blended certification classes for up to 15 people, with a three hour skills practice session which includes disarming techniques, critical bleeding control, and creating emergency action plans for your location.

** NO WEAPONS OR POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS ALLOWED! **
I have been privileged and honored to take part in Indigenous First Nations ceremonies for over 25 years. Working with a buffalo preserve on the Crow Reservation in Montana, participating in the International Sundance, having been adopted into a Lakota family, and being an official "buffalo Grandfather," I was gifted with the name Tatanka Nagi Luta (Red Spirit Buffalo). To honor my Lakota family and the beautiful ceremonies I have been a part of, as well as the wonderous wisdom I have learned from "Tatanka", I have named my business Nagi Luta Enterprises. My most sacred experience was being accepted into the herd by my Tatanka family!
Please - DO NOT Try to Approach Any Animal That You Do Not Know!
Thank you so much for your continued support and helping to keep Rich's legacy alive!
Yours in service,
