RTACC is an intensive 4-day programme for Close Protection (CP) operatives, security team leaders and high-risk deployment personnel who may be required to manage life-threatening trauma and medical emergencies while operating in high-threat, remote or hostile environments.
The course develops advanced trauma care capability and clinical decision-making, enabling security teams to manage multiple casualties, coordinate medical response, and maintain operational continuity until advanced medical support is available.
