Advanced Trauma First Aid

Advanced Trauma Certification Course

Duration: 5 Hours | Certification Validity: 2 Years

Take your trauma response skills to the next level with our Advanced Trauma Certification Course—a comprehensive, hands-on training designed for those who have already completed a foundational trauma course such as First Aid for Severe Trauma, Stop the Bleed, or equivalent.

This advanced course builds upon core concepts and dives deeper into:

• The full MARCH algorithm (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia/Head Injury)

• Human anatomy and physiology as it relates to trauma care

• Improvised trauma interventions in austere or resource-limited settings

• The development of a combat-effective mindset for high-stress, real-world scenarios

Certified and accredited by the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC), American Heart Association, and several other leading organizations, this course equips students with the skills and confidence to provide lifesaving care beyond the basics.

Prerequisite: A solid understanding of pre-hospital emergency medicine is strongly recommended. This course is ideal for first responders, law enforcement, security professionals, and medically-trained civilians looking to advance their trauma capabilities.

This course exceeds the following certification guidelines set forth by the American Heart Association C-TECC, Co-TCCC, STB Coalition, and American Red Cross: Basic Life Support for Adult, Child, and Infant, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens, Stop The Bleed, Wilderness First Aid, First Aid for Severe Trauma, and several other courses.  This course is accredited through the AHA, Red Cross, and C-TECC.
