Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Courses
Standardised Battlefield Medicine
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is the proven methodology used by allied forces worldwide to manage life-threatening injuries under fire. The ASM tier ensures that every member of a team—regardless of their primary role—possesses the skills to intervene during the most critical moments of a casualty's "Golden Hour."
Globally Recognised Certification
As a NAEMT-authorised faculty, our ASM course provides a 3-year certification recognised by the US Department of Defense (DoD) and allied military agencies. This ensures full interoperability with US, UK, and NATO partners during joint operations or exchanges.
Physician-Led Readiness
Our ASM program is not just a "first aid" course. It is a physician-governed clinical program delivered by veteran operators who have applied these exact protocols in Role 1 and Role 2 facilities near the frontline.
Course Details
First on the Scene (FOTS) is a First Aid course designed by international experts that unlike Australian First Aid, addresses other major conditions considered preventable causes of death. It also addresses the differences between traumatic and sudden cardiac arrest whilst covering some acute life threatening conditions.
It is a 4-hour highly practical course maximising ‘hands-on’ time developing competency and confidence.
Ideal for high-risk workplaces, the course can be delivered onsite for group bookings or to minimise employee absence from work and leaving participants confident and capable to intervene if necessary.
Fully WHS compliant to ANZCOR guidelines to CPR, we can add additional workplace specific risks and competencies if/where required.
→ Activating the ‘000’ system
→ Recognise and respond to life-threatening bleeding
- Tourniquet application
- Wound packing
→ Hands-only CPR
- Traumatic vs Sudden Cardiac Arrest
- Automatically External Defibrillator (AED) use
→ Penetrating chest trauma
- Commercial and expedient Chest Seals
- ‘Burping’ the Seal
→ Administering Naloxone (Drug Overdose)
→Administering Adrenaline (Anaphylaxis)
→ Moving patients to safety
→ Positioning injured patients (Recovery position)
* Option to tailor in additional competencies to your workplace risks or WHS requirements.
- E.g Snakebite, Marine Envenomation, Choking
FOTS is suitable for anyone physically capable to conduct CPR on an adult and is a basic knowledge course. It is highly suitable for all workplaces but recommended recommended for industries with an increased risk profile such as: Transport, Construction, Manufacturing, Mining and Resources and Energy to cover them against their WHS liability.
It is the most relevant course to prepare any person to be a first responder to a traumatic accident such as a motor vehicle collisions, deep lacerations, shark attacks and other trauma incidents.
From $250 per person (4 hours face to face)
We run frequent sessions at our Sunshine Coast facility or can organise corporate packages for your industry at your workplace. Please get in touch by calling 1300 276 837 (1300 2 SOTER) or email sales@soterinternational.com

Why These Courses Matter
Interoperability: Standardising the medical response across Police, Fire, and Ambulance ensures a seamless transition of care during multi-agency incidents.
Evidence-Based: All curriculum is based on the latest trauma data and is underwritten by our Australian physician-led governance.
Realistic Stress-Inoculation: We move beyond the classroom, using high-fidelity simulations to ensure these skills are "muscle memory" when the pressure is on.
