Tactical Emergency Casualty Care-May

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:

1-Hot Zone/Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.

2-Warm Zone/Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed but may resurface.

3-Cold Zone/Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site. 

The TECC Provider Course provides 16-hour classroom course for EMTs and paramedics. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a certificate of completion, a wallet card recognizing them asTECC providers for 4 years, and 16 hours of CAPCE credit.
