COURSE FAQ

The objective of the qualification is to prepare learners to deal with serious medical and trauma incidents in a realistic and immersive way that develops knowledge, skills and confidence. It is designed to support Emergency Services workers, Close Protection Operatives, Emergency Responders and High Risk Industry to respond to medical and trauma emergencies in the context of their role.

Learners must be at least 17 years old.

Due to the language of the theory assessment, it is recommended that learners have sufficient command of the English language in order to understand the assessment and to undertake the multiple choice question paper and oral questions.

Learners must have an understanding of basic First Aid and ideally have attended a 1 day First Aid Trauma and Casualty Care (FTACC) or Emergency First Aid at Work within the last 3 years.

Due to the nature of this course, learners should be physically capable of undertaking practical assessments in a range of environments. There are no other formal entry requirements but to benefit from the learning we advise that learners have a minimum of Level 1 in literacy or numeracy or equivalent.

The benefit to learners is that the course prepares them to deal with time critical trauma and medical incidents in a realistic and immersive way that develops skills and confidence. It is designed to support emergency services workers, security personnel and emergency responders to respond to trauma and medical emergencies in the context of their role.

The BTACC course is accredited and recognised by Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS England). The BTACC course is clinically underwritten by suitably qualified Critical Care Doctors and Prehospital Care Clinicians provided by The ATACC Group and the wider ATACC Faculty and backed by the expert Medical Advisory Group

We are also able to offer a regulated BTACC qualification that sits on the regulated qualification framework (RQF). This has been developed in collaboration with Qualifications Network UK (QNUK), who are an Awarding Organisation (AO) regulated by Ofqual, Qualifications Wales and CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland.

The maximum trainer to learner ratio for this qualification is 1:6. The course is designed for a maximum of 12 students (2 trainers to 12 students).

To successfully complete the course, each learner is required to pass a summative theory multiple-choice-question paper and a series of skill stations and scenario-based practical assessments.

The course is designed to be delivered through high fidelity simulation and training in a unique and motivational style that is easy to follow and understand. We have been involved in emergency care training for 25 years and feel it is important to truly immerse candidates into a scenario. Using live actors helps bring a scenario to life and applies pressure by partly replicating the reality of dealing with critically injured casualties.
