The Tactical First Responder course is designed to equip participants with the skills and confidence to manage both trauma and medical emergencies in time-critical environments. Drawing on the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) guidelines, this one-day course introduces participants to life-saving interventions for potentially survivable causes of death while also covering core Basic Life Support competencies.

Delivered in a practical, scenario-driven format, Tactical First Aid strikes the balance between trauma care and everyday medical emergencies. Suitable for participants of all backgrounds, no prior experience is required.

Nationally Recognised Units of Competency - Upon successful completion of all assessment requirements, participants will receive:

• HLTAID009 – Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
• HLTAID010 – Provide basic emergency life support
• HLTAID011 – Provide first aid

 

Remote Casualty Care – 2 days

In remote operations, you don't get second chances. This intensive, hands-on course bridges the critical gap between basic first aid and advanced trauma care and transforms participants into confident responders capable of managing life-threatening trauma when professional medical assistance is hours away.

The Remote Casualty Care (RCC) program distinguishes itself from conventional remote or wilderness first aid courses by being specifically designed for real-world operations in high-risk, remote, austere, and resource-limited environments.

Unlike many generic remote first aid courses that focus on basic protocols with minimal operational context, RCC is mission-driven, trauma-centric, and grounded in internationally recognised best-practice guidelines, including those from Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC).

This course is not about ticking a box for first aid compliance. The RCC is a learning journey designed to prepare participants to respond with skill, confidence, and clarity under pressure. Whether managing traumatic injuries in isolated terrain or supporting prolonged field care with limited resources, RCC trains responders to make critical decisions when professional help is far away and every second truly counts.
