About Our FR Training Program

The ATACC - First Responder (FR) has been specifically designed for the Fire Service. This Intergrated Fire Medical Training Program offers online training content for first responders, including lesson plans, video material and a structured 2 year learning program based on the Rescue Trauma and Casualty Care (RTACC) Course Core Content. We tailor this to meet the specific training needs of your Fire Service or Department and work with you to help your training officers to deliver monthly training.

This training provides your first responders access to lifesaving education using the M.A.R.C.H algorithm (Massive Haemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Head and other injuries).

The M.A.R.C.H approach is a simple and systematic way of dealing with a wide range of life threatening and time critical trauma incidents. This was developed by Military Special Forces and has since been adopted by emergency services and emergency medical response teams throughout the world.

Accredited Training

At the end of our training your First Responders will receive a certificate of completion of the ATACC - First Responder IFM Training Program and a certificate of completion of the RTACC Core Content (16 hour continuing education credits EMLAB). This program is only offered to Fire Departments or Fire Services.
