ASALT
Responder

Online Academic Program: $1,995. Complete ASALT Responder Program with online and approved in-person training: $2,495. The three focused training-block bundles are RECOGNIZE: $700, DEFEND: $850, and TREAT: $650. These are the five ASALT Responder choices shown on this page.

The $1,995 Online Academic Program provides the complete scheduled academic curriculum, live instructor access, scheduled replays, guided work, assessments, and portfolio work. The $2,495 Complete ASALT Responder Program is a $500 upgrade. It adds the approved live, in-person classes and practical components identified in the enrollment agreement, plus integration, capstone, coordinated completion requirements, and eligibility for the ASALT Responder designation after every requirement is satisfied.

RECOGNIZE ($700) groups protective intelligence, threat recognition, protective planning, communication, de-escalation, and lawful decision-making. DEFEND ($850) groups firearms safety, basic pistol, Colorado carry training, lawful defensive concepts, and applied personal-protection skills. TREAT ($650) groups CPR/AED, first aid, severe-bleeding response, trauma application, and emergency medical decision-making. Each price covers one focused block—not the complete program.

The three focused blocks total $2,200 when purchased separately. That is $205 more than the $1,995 Online Academic Program and $295 less than the $2,495 Complete ASALT Responder Program. These are different enrollment structures: purchasing blocks separately does not automatically create a complete-program enrollment, coordinated completion record, or eligibility for the full designation.

Yes. The complete program integrates academic learning across all three areas and connects them through applied decision-making, practical work, assessments, and the capstone. The exact in-person classes and reserved practical components included in a student’s purchase are the ones stated in the enrollment agreement.

Yes, where relevant. Range fees, ammunition, equipment, course materials, provider-controlled credential fees, government permit fees, or other course-specific requirements may be separate unless the enrollment agreement expressly says they are included. Students should rely on the selected option’s registration record and enrollment agreement for the final included-items list.

No. A training block is a grouped curriculum area containing several related subjects, classes, or learning requirements. An individual class is one specific course. Completing one class does not automatically complete an entire block, and completing one block does not complete the full ASALT Responder program.

Yes. Published individual classes can be selected through the site’s Individual Classes and registration pages. Their dates, prerequisites, tuition, credentials, and completion rules are course-specific. Individual-class purchases are separate from the five program and block prices on this page unless the enrollment agreement identifies that class as included.

Yes, students may begin with one focused block. Adding another block or moving into a complete-program route later depends on sequence, schedule, capacity, and current requirements. Any tuition credit or upgrade arrangement must be confirmed before the later registration; it should not be assumed automatically.

No. The Online Academic Program does not automatically include practical or provider-controlled courses. Focused blocks include only the classes and requirements assigned to that block. The Complete ASALT Responder Program includes the approved in-person components specifically identified in the enrollment agreement. Dates and seats still require confirmation.

Only when that approved class is listed as satisfying the applicable requirement and the student successfully completes every attendance, knowledge, skills, assessment, and provider standard. ASALT program recognition and provider-issued credentials are tracked separately, even when one course contributes to both.

No. You complete two three-hour modules each week: Module A and Module B. Each module begins with a scheduled live class and then replays every three hours until the next class begins. You complete each module once; you do not attend every replay.

The live class gives you the best opportunity to ask questions, participate in discussion, work through decisions with the instructor, and learn with the group. Live attendance is strongly encouraged whenever your schedule allows it.

Use one of the scheduled three-hour replays during that module's published replay window. The replay provides the same class content while allowing reasonable flexibility across a 14-week program. Complete the module within its scheduled window and follow the published attendance policy.

No. A replay is the same three-hour class presented on a repeating schedule; it is not another class taught again by the instructor. It carries the same module content and does not create duplicate credit.

No. It is a scheduled 14-week program with weekly module windows, guided work, assessments, and completion standards. Replays provide scheduling flexibility, but they are not a permanent recording library and do not remove weekly deadlines.

Saturday certification and other required hands-on classes are separate from the academic replay schedule. They must be attended live and in person. A date is confirmed only after the student has an actual reservation.

No. The full designation requires successful completion of the approved academic, practical, assessment, integration, and other program requirements. Completing the Online Academic Program alone records academic completion but does not satisfy the full hands-on pathway.

It records successful completion of ASALT’s approved program requirements across the academic, practical, assessment, and integration areas. It is a program-completion designation—not a government permit, professional license, or automatic third-party credential.

No. Government permits and professional licenses are controlled by the applicable agency. Provider-issued cards and credentials require successful completion of that provider’s attendance, skills, testing, and documentation rules. The ASALT Responder designation remains separate from those external decisions.

The live academic route may be available outside Colorado. In-person classes, carry laws, range work, permits, practical training, and provider credentials are location-specific. Students outside Colorado should use the on-site Contact page before registering if they need confirmation about their location.

Use the Register for ASALT Responder button to open the on-site program registration form. Use the Contact ASALT button for questions about the correct option, prerequisites, scheduling, location, or included components. Neither button requires opening an external email program.

Your record should identify the selected program or block, tuition, the published weekly live-class and replay schedule, included classes or practical components, confirmed reserved dates, known prerequisites, and any separate fees or equipment requirements. A practical date is not confirmed until it appears as an actual reservation.

The initial academic enrollment limit is 40 students. When the program is full, students may be placed on a waitlist. Practical, range, certification, and individual-class capacity is controlled separately from academic capacity.
