Medical Classes

CPR, First Aid & AED
Tuition: $100

Luckily, the vast majority of incidents a prepared citizen encounters are of a medical nature rather than violent attack. Slips and falls, scraped knees, choking, heart attacks, strokes, broken bones, anaphylactic shock, and other illnesses and injuries occur on a daily basis across the country. This Colorado CPR training course will train you to act as a true “first responder,” providing basic life support and care until emergency services arrive. Includes American Heart Association CPR/AED/First Aid certification, as well as training in current practices in common medical incidents you may encounter.

Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)
Tuition: $375

Using didactic methods that align with the 2nd edition of NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.

The course presents the three phases of tactical care and integrates parallel EMS nomenclature:

• Hot Zone/Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.
• Warm Zone/Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed but may resurface at any point.
• Cold Zone/Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site. 

The 8-hour course includes all new patient simulations and covers the following topics:

• Hemorrhage control including immediate action drills for tourniquet application throughout the course;
• Complete coverage of the MARCH assessment;
• Strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; and
• Techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety along with evacuation procedures.

Age Requirement: 18+

This is not an advanced course; however, a foundational understanding of casualty care is recommended.
