Participant, February 2024 - TECC

All material was applicable and taught in great detail. No lesson taught felt out of place. This course has made me become more confident in my skills.

Hyper realistic for sure. The training lanes were informative. I had a chance to get a lot of reps in and my skills have improved. I have info to take aback to my team. Qualified staff. No one was lazy.

Participant, January 2024 - TMT

The subject matter is very involved and complex. The instructors successfully broke it down into digestible and easy to memorize portions which promotes learning and retaining information. Well done..

Participant, January 2024 - TMT

Hands on skills and sims were very relevant. They were delivered in a manner that allowed students to grasp skills/concepts regardless of medical exposure/training. Movements were great coming from the medic standpoint to see the thoughts/details that go into various operations.

Participant, January 2024 - TMT

Super educational experience. Will summarize educational highlights on slides for presentation to other medical professionals. Course highly relevant in today’s challenging times of increased violence.

Participant, December 2023 - TECC

The scenario based lessons were presented in a very realistic way and course instructors provided valuable insight and critique. Very professional and knowledgeable team!

Each instructor displayed professionalism, provided great feedback and they have helped me gain the knowledge and confidence to be effective in the field.

Participant, April 2023 - TECC

This course was incredible. I have loved every minute of it. The teachers were engaging & really knowledgeable & I loved the way the content was presented with the alternating lecture -> activity/scenario format. I can’t speak highly enough about this course & everyone involved (incl. all the amazing actors!) Wish you taught in Aus! 😊

Participant, February 2023 - TECC

This course was extremely well run. Each instructor was knowledgeable and happy to answer any question. Real life sims are hard to do, but you guys did really well. Absolutely loved it! +++, props to the actors! Thank you!!

It was an unreal experience. Unlike anything I have experienced before. Super insightful and all facilitators were incredible banks of knowledge. Really appreciate you guys. It’s been lit. Appreciate the honesty and constructive criticism.

Really appreciated the scenarios and the feedback as well as stories from the staff on tips and tricks of the trade. Definitely things that I can bring back to my station and crew and implement right away.

The instructors extremely knowledgeable! They were able to convey their knowledge extremely well. I very much enjoyed this class. Great team!

Participant, September 2022 - TECC-LEO

Overall, the course was well taught. I’ve learned some things that I will take back with me to my department.

Participant, September 2022 - TECC-LEO

I really enjoyed the course and will highly recommend it.

Participant, September 2022 - TECC-LEO

Hands on training superior to any I have received before.

Participant, September 2022 - TECC-LEO

The instructors were all SMEs of their craft & were able to relate all of the course material to real world experiences. Chuck, Jeff & Carter’s experience on the combat side helped put the importance of everyone having some proficiency in medicine in our field & Cynthia was a very knowledgeable in all aspects of medicine & its application.

Participant, August 2022 - TCCC

All instructors were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Outstanding instructors and I learned a numerous amount of new skill that will set me up for success in the future.

Participant, August 2022 - TCCC

Overall course was super beneficial, the instructors were able to explain each module with both visual aid and personal experience which made retaining the information easier to retain. Personally not one instructor was better than the other, each had different personal experience and background that benefitted the course.

Participant, August 2022 - TCCC

Great course, great instructions. First time in over 10 years that I’ve seen a cadre on the same page, and genuinely invested in the students and material. While the props and PA were excellent and awesome tools, the instructors made the course, hands down. Jeff, Carter, Damien, Chuck and Wyatt, Cynthia were phenomenal.

Participant, August 2022 - TCCC

I truly enjoyed everything about this course, both the classroom teachings and the real-life simulations. The instructors were all very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning from them not only the material, but how they used it in their own jobs and the experiences they were able to share. They provided great feedback and also good constructive criticism.

Participant, August 2022 - TECC

Very informative. The combination of classroom learning and skill building made the lessons engaging. Day 2 is definitely worth the wait of getting the bulk of classroom learning done early. The simulations locked in the skills with the added stress. Very appreciative of that.

Participant, August 2022 - TECC

All instructors were highly knowledgeable and passionate about the material and teaching.

Participant, August 2022 - TECC

I loved it and learned so much. I enjoyed learning the instructors personal experience with the subject matter.

Participant, August 2022 - TECC

Great team & delivery was great. Constructive criticism & feedback was helpful. The supportive environment made learning easier.

Participant, July 2022 - TECC-LEO

The best course I have ever done, very fun, very hands on, instructors & patients were all amazing! Have not done my trauma subject in school yet & I wish you guys could come to AUS to teach it!

Participant, July 2022 - TECC-LEO

All staff were approachable, happy to answer questions thoroughly and to provide constructive feedback, I’ve learnt so much and lessons I’ll take back to Australia for my own practices. So very much appreciated, beats any training I’ve ever done! 😊

Participant, July 2022 - TECC-LEO

All scenarios were extremely well throughout, professional and FUN. It was an amazing experience for our whole Australian paramedic crew.

Participant, July 2022 - TECC-LEO

Overall this course was nothing short of amazing. For the LEO side of the world, I believed this should be required. Being able to properly do the majority of “life saving” interventions in the warm zone is imperative to change what is normally done by LEOs. Instead of watching our medic counterparts, we could be doing more to help once the scene is safe. This could be the difference in dynamic, mass casualty events or on the calls for service where it takes a drastic turn for the worse and we are waiting for medics to arrive.

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

The best medical training I have ever had. The realistic, repeated application of skills boosted my skill level and confidence.

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

Overall really fun and challenging. The simulations felt realistic and got the adrenaline pumping..

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

Great course. Best medical training I have ever received. As a law enforcement officer I found some of the basic EMT knowledge to be somewhat confusing to include blood pressure, IV fluid admin but the trauma medicine was great. Being able to do realistic application of medicine was 5 stars. Thank you!

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

The instructors make this course. Everyone here presents well, explains topics extremely well and in a manner that is easy to understand. Furthermore every instructor is highly versed in their field and their knowledge.

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

Every aspect & component of this course was fantastic! Especially bringing the local SWAT teams to trains alongside of & run scenarios with the Hyper Realistic environment STOPS create is unmatched! Best medical training I’ve ever experienced, I was extremely challenged & was pushed out of my comfort zone. Learning definitely occurred.

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

Best course I’ve attended for medicine w/ 22 years military & 15 years LE. Facility is amazing training SMEs . Did a great job explaining the “why” behind the medicine, bringing tactical teams out to train increased understanding of role as tactical medic.

Participant, July 2022 - TMT

Highly recommend this course for any agency needing tactical medical training. All instructors were knowledgeable and willing to help in any way. Training site and equipment were by far the most realistic I have trained on.
