Training Program TECC & TCCC
Tactical Medicine - NAEMT Certification

Important note: Amarante ACADEMY is not a NAEMT training center.

Developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and the Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) committee, the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training programmes are primarily designed to keep a casualty alive by following military guidelines for prehospital combat medicine.

Specifically designed for military personnel and combat environments, the TCCC course aims to teach emergency care for war-related injuries in hostile zones. Adapted for civilian responders in tactical emergency situations (e.g., police, firefighters, emergency medical teams), the TECC course focuses on civilian intervention contexts, such as active shooter incidents, terrorist attacks, and other emergencies in urban settings.

Target audience:

TECC: all first responders, doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, police officers, gendarmes, security agents, and any personnel facing high-risk situations wishing to train in tactical medicine;

TCCC: all military personnel required to undertake the training as part of their official duties.

Terms and conditions of access

To maximize opportunities for interaction between our teaching staff and participants, a ratio of 1 instructor to 6 participants is encouraged. A minimum of 15 participants is recommended for both types of training.
