This course equips security personnel and site-based staff operating in remote, hostile or austere environments with the essential skills to provide immediate, first-line medical care when incidents occur on site.
Designed for security teams protecting critical infrastructure, construction sites, or resource projects located far from reliable medical facilities, the course focuses on delivering life-saving care in the crucial first minutes following injury, while awaiting evacuation or advanced support.
Training is scenario-driven and practical, building confidence and competence to act under pressure and stabilise casualties in challenging field conditions.
