Minimum Age:  16 Years Old

With the ever growing threat of terrorist attacks, lone wolf strikes, bombings, and with responses to active incidents increasing every having the training to save lives is paramount!

The Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) program is based on the principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and meets the guidelines  established by the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (Co-TECC). The course teaches civilian tactical EMS; any EMS practitioner called upon to respond to a mass casualty or active shooter event.
This 16-hour course covers topics designed to decrease preventable death in the tactical situation.  Topics include: Hemorrhage control; surgical airway control and needle decompression; strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; caring for pediatric patients; and techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety.

At the core of the TECC program are three distinct phases that have been well-proven by TCCC-trained personnel in the war against terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. The phases are as follows: 

Direct Threat Care
Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.

Indirect Threat Care
Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed, but may resurface at any point.

Evacuation
Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site. TECC focuses on the medicine during these phases of care and provides guidelines for managing trauma in the civilian tactical or hazardous environment. While TECC has a tactical slant, it takes an all-hazards approach to providing care outside the normal operating conditions of most EMS agencies, such as responding to a mass casualty or active shooter event.

Class size is limited to register early!  Only 30 seats are being made available!
