T.E.C.C. - TACTICAL EMERGENCY CASUALTY CARE

DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING
TECC level 3 is a CIVILO-Operational version based on the TCCC guidelines.
This training will enable you to acquire the gestures and best practices needed to stabilise an injured person (polytrauma) according to clear, hierarchical guidelines and precise, approved drills. This training course will provide a complete understanding of the various procedures involved.
Most of the training is practical, backed up by theoretical knowledge of anatomy, physiology and traumatology. This course is essential in both civilian and operational environments, whether hostile or not.
