Course Overview:

TacMed’s Medic Level Two program, underwritten by the Nationally Accredited HLT41120 Certificate IV in Health Care, focuses on equipping individuals with the skills, foundational knowledge, and, importantly, the confidence to provide initial pre-hospital basic life support and trauma response for high-risk environments.

Through TacMed’s proven training methodologies and world-class instructors, participants will learn through a wide range of modalities, including eLearning, face-to-face classroom training, skills stations, and TacMed’s infamous reality-based simulations with escalating stress inoculation.
