Who This Course Is For and What Is Required
This instructor update is not open to everyone — and that is by design. NAEMT takes the quality of TECC instruction seriously, and this course reflects that commitment.
To enroll and complete this update, you must meet one of the following requirements:
- You are a current TECC Second Edition instructor in good standing
- You have received direct approval from NAEMT to serve as a TECC instructor
If you do not meet one of these two conditions, you will not be recognized as a TECC Third Edition instructor after completing the course. This ensures that only qualified, vetted professionals are teaching life-saving tactical casualty care skills to others.
After completing this update:
- You will be formally recognized as a TECC Third Edition instructor
- You can immediately begin scheduling and delivering third edition courses
