Course Overview By Skills

Tactical Casualty Care (TC2)

The Tactical Casualty Care course requires no medical background or training. This material is designed for everyday citizens, law enforcement, Fire, EMS, and military combatants. This is the minimum level of medical tactical training anyone who carries a firearm, professionally or personally should take. The 7.5-hour online course focuses primarily on the Care Under Fire or Direct Threat phase of an event, where the responder and injured are still in an ongoing threat to life. Learn how to quickly evaluate the injured, focus on what’s most important, manage massive hemorrhage, and stop preventable death with minimal equipment. This course teaches everything in the TCCC All Combatants Guidelines and the TECC First Responders With a Duty to Act guideline.

The advanced course covers everything in the TC2 and expands on it. This course is designed for everyday citizens, law enforcement, Fire, EMS, and military combatants and medics, who want more training in tactical casualty care. The course expands the information into both more detail, and the Tactical Field Care or Indirect Threat phase of the event. This course teaches some skills your state may characterize as paramedic level but does not require prior medical training.
