Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Instructor Course

The TECC Instructor Course prepares instructor candidates to confidently and effectively teach Tactical Emergency Casualty Care in public safety, tactical, and high-threat environments. This course focuses on both TECC content and the best practices for teaching it, ensuring graduates are not only knowledgeable, but effective educators.

Grounded in adult learning theory and modern instructional design, the course emphasizes practical teaching strategies, clear communication, and hands-on skills instruction. Instructor candidates learn how to translate TECC guidelines into engaging, real-world training that students can apply under stress.

This course follows the guidelines established by the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC). Trilogy Emergency Medical Solutions is an approved C-TECC Educational Partner, ensuring that all instruction is consistent with nationally recognized TECC standards and current best practices.

This course is delivered in a hybrid format:

  Instructor candidates complete the academic portion of the course online at their own pace. This phase covers TECC principles, instructional methodology, and teaching best practices.

• In-Person Instructor Development (2 Days – Mandatory):
