TECC Active Bystander Series

Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)

Taught by Iron Rescue

Emergencies don’t wait for EMS—and in many real-world incidents, the first people on scene are civilians. The TECC Active Bystander Series equips non-medical civilians with the skills, confidence, and mindset to provide life-saving care in high-stress, unpredictable environments before professional help arrives.

This course bridges the gap between basic first aid and real-world trauma response, focusing on practical actions that save lives when seconds matter.
