The Complete TC2 is quite simply the best online class I have ever taken. It doesn't feel like an online class, but it offers the convenience. Dr. Shertz provides information in a way that is educational and easy to understand. His classroom style works for this industry. As the course progresses, themes build upon each other. The student gets the knowledge of what to do and how and why to do it. Moreover, the student gets the "when" to do it. This course is exciting, interesting, and full of valuable information. Dr. Shertz has proven to be beyond legitimate in everything he presents. I absolutely loved his teaching style.While scientific, he didn't present it as some lab-coat wearing academic, he presented it as a man who has been in extreme situations, in Special Forces operations, and who has been in the sh*t. When you take this class, you'll know he is one of us. That's who he is: one of us, working to make us better, working to give us the tools to save lives. This class has re-ignited my passion for my career and has motivated me to keep pushing to be a positive force for good. Thank you to Crisis Medicine.

I can not say how glad I am that I took this course!! If you have any doubts whether or not you should do the "Advanced TC2" or the "Complete TC2" I can give you only one word of advice: Do the Complete TC2! I was doubtful for quite a while if I (due to my German background) would be able to follow along with such a special medical course without having EMS skills or special medical vocabulary. I can tell you I had zero problems as Dr. Shertz explained, illustrated, and/or demonstrated all things in a very easy to understand way; even for foreigners with basic-to-good English skills.I never thought I would learn so much so fast and get such a rock-solid understanding on how to perform even things like getting a surgical airway into someone's "throat" or how to detect and decompress a tension-pneumothorax. You will learn things from what a bullet (or other penetrating trauma) does inside of you and how to quickly discern more serious conditions in a casualty from lesser serious injuries. That is very important if many people are injured.From blunt trauma, stabbing wounds, GSW as well as burns, blasts or mine injuries, everything of major importance I found covered by Dr. Shertz. He gives a very honest discernment without any disclosures which may not make every company or committee happy, but is very helpful for those on the field! Honestly, such a course SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MANDATORY FOR EVERY NEIGHBOUR LOVING CITIZEN. For me, as a dedicated Christian it definitely was a duty!Where I live (Germany) we do not have many firearms around as they are very restricted. Nevertheless, we have a lot of weird and wicked people like everywhere. You can't restrict firearms enough to where the bad guys won't have them anymore... But not only that, but imagine you are in an earthquake scenario, or an explosion causing a building to collapse... active shooter event...suicide bombing... what can you think of... This world is not getting any safer! What is a few hundred bucks compared to a saved life? Even if you may never be in such a situation it is definitely better to be prepared than to unprepared find yourself in a situation, unable to help, while staring in the eyes of someone bleeding to death. Love your neighbor as yourself, Jesus said, and if you can get prepped in such a practical way for the chaotic scenarios in which we may find ourselves in- why not doing it? Yes, it is serious money, but it's an even more serious subject! How much are you willing to pay for University and higher education? You should learn the basics of saving a life first! The good news: It is less expensive than getting a Ph.D. in engineering! It also is less money than a week of skiing or hanging out at Maldive Island. Going through the Complete TC2 will be definitely more beneficial for you, your loved ones as well as the rest of mankind! What else to say? I just so much appreciated this course. Dr. Michael Shertz did a great job in recording and compiling this selection of over 20h material and undoubtedly takes the knowledge and experience straight from the battlefield or clinical emergency department delivering it right into the virtual classroom. I wished I could have done the In-Person-Course! However, for those who can't afford the in-Person-Course (like me), the pictures, movie sequences, and illustrations are as real as they can be and as graphic as reality quite often is. Very good to get prepared. I am thankful Dr. Shertz and his Team did not make it to Hollywood but stayed right where they are needed - available for people like you and me! Everyone with basic English skills! I was very dedicated to the course and finished it within one week of my holiday. Surely I will go over the materials again to get it in even deeper. I have no disclosures but recommend this course so strongly because the Complete TC2 IS JUST A GREAT COURSE! Do not hesitate: go for it!

After being in Public Safety for over 20 years in a mix of LE and Fire/EMS it was refreshing to watch an online class that kept my attention. Being a Tactical Medic this CE was extremely relevant and will do our team well. I look forward to the other classes Crisis-Medicine offers. I must also add the customer service is amazing. Prompt email response, and genuine willingness to work with us, and doing so the whole time in a nice friendly manner. You can not go wrong by using this group! Excellent job from A to Z.

After reading the reviews already given...I'm not sure I can say anything that hasn't been said, except that I agree! With my years as a nurse, I could probably stumble through most crisis/trauma situations, but I now feel I am much better-prepared thanks to the knowledge gained from the course. The format and presentation were both well done. Thanks Dr Shertz..for sharing your expertise with humor and common sense. Oh, and thanks for sharing your daughter in the videos, she looks like a treasure. B. Sharp RN,CCRN

Crisis-medicine.com's Complete Tactical Emergency Casualty Care course has been one of the most transformational experiences in my life. Dr. Shertz's practical, no-bullshit approach to triage and treatment of life-threatening trauma has been distilled down to skills and techniques that are very trainable, attainable, and applicable for civilian hands. After taking this course I am confident in my ability to identify, treat, and manage mass casualties in any active violent event. I can build an aid system using equipment that has been researched, tested, and proven to work - and that won't fail my expectations during a crisis. Everyone who believes that it's important to be prepared for emergencies should crave this knowledge; everyone has something to learn here.Having taken both the in-person and online training I can honestly say that the online training and step-by-step skills stations are every bit as effective at driving home the material as the in-person training, and track very closely with the classroom experience. In some cases the on-line training is actually a superior way to learn the material, as you can back up to a section you want to review or pause and ponder a graph or chart that is being presented. Although the hands-on classroom experience is undeniably beneficial, the online course will still get your knowledge and mindset where it needs to be for you to act as an effective force multiplier for good if the worst should happen. Thank you Dr. Shertz!
