Our courses combine conform to the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Guidelines, National Fire Protection Association – NFPA 3000 Standards, and the Federal Law Enforcement Trainning Center (FLETC) training guidelines.

Basic courses are generally one 8 to 12 hour day although some may last up to 16 hours if operations at night are included. Some advanced courses may continue over several days. Course schedules are included prior to sign up.
