Training Courses

This newly released course from NAEMT has replaced TCC LEFR. It is an 8-hour classroom scenario-based skills course designed explicitly for law enforcement and non-EMS first responders. The course covers lessons found in the 16-hour provider course at a level appropriate for first responders.

The newly validated Second Edition of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course is designed to present a strong foundation of topics, concepts, principles, and skills specific to delivering emergency medical care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.

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.

This 40 hour course meets and exceeds California POST and EMSA guidelines for Tactical Medicine and provides 40 hours of CAPCE (formerly CECBEMS) credits and/or POST CPT for LE officers. The crawl, walk, run teaching methodology will take the students from the repetitive practice of core Tactical Medicine skills through full Hyper-Realistic^® stress inoculation scenarios.

NAEMT's Tactical Combat Casualty Care course introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield, under the auspices of the PHTLS program. It is the only TCCC course endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.

NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care course is TCCC adapted specifically for the civilian, law enforcement environment while maintaining the same principles as TCCC.

MASCAL (Mass Casualty Exercise) training is a simulation-based initiative designed to evaluate the readiness of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), fire departments, law enforcement, military personnel, and hospitals to respond to mass casualty events.
