Course description:

The Tactical Emergency Critical Care (TECC) course equips individuals with essential skills to provide life-saving medical care in austere and high-threat environments. Originally developed for military personnel without formal medical training, TECC prepares participants to manage severe traumatic injuries and perform critical interventions until advanced medical care becomes available. These proven techniques have saved countless lives in high-stress, real-world situations.

​

In today’s unpredictable environment, emergencies can occur without warning—whether during an active threat incident, a motor vehicle accident, or a hunting or outdoor mishap. When seconds matter, the ability to act decisively can mean the difference between life and death.
