In an ever-changing world where threats to security and safety persist, the need for more people trained in tactical techniques has never been more critical. The tactical training courses at Colorado Cardiac CPR offer specialized education designed to prepare individuals for managing a crisis situation. Whether you’re in law enforcement, the medical field, the military, or just simply want to grow your proficiency in tactical training skills, investing in this type of training is essential.

Tactical training techniques have a rich history in many parts of the world, and it’s believed that military leaders in ancient civilizations devised tactical strategies to gain advantages on the battlefield. In ancient Greece, for example, military leaders like Alexander the Great and his generals used sophisticated tactics to achieve military success. During the Middle Ages, knights used training in medieval warfare to prepare themselves for battle, and trained extensively in jousting, practicing formations, and effective tactical maneuvers. 

We evolve our teaching and practices for tactical techniques regularly, and today our courses utilize the most up-to-date military and medical applications. The classes at Colorado Cardiac CPR can provide participants with the skills, practice, and strategies needed to effectively navigate high-risk and potentially dangerous situations. In these stress-filled scenarios, responders need to feel confident to:

• Make crucial decisions under pressure
• Mitigate threats in real time
• Minimize harm to self or others
• Depend on teammates when possible
• Instinctively move from survival “freeze” mode to “fight” mode

In our tactical training courses, we use realistic situations to simulate real-life situations. Participants will get to practice skills learned with strobe lights, fireworks, simulated blood, smoke machines, simulated gunfire, and more.

Here are a few reasons why the tactical training courses at Colorado Cardiac CPR could be right for you:

• You’re in law enforcement, the military, or the medical field and need recertification in TECC, TCCC, or TEMS; and/or you need CAPCE credit
• You simply want to update your tactical skills
• You want to learn how to best care for yourself and your loved ones in a crisis situation
• You want to gain confidence in your ability to respond and act in high-stake scenarios
• You realize that situational awareness is important, and you want to improve your alertness
• You want to improve your reaction time when under stress

It’s always our hope that our students will not be forced to utilize the skills we teach in our tactical training courses. However, we believe in what Benjamin Franklin said: “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”   And by hoping for the best and being prepared for the worst, those who take our courses walk away feeling the satisfaction of empowerment. Our mission is to prepare our students to feel confident in any high-risk situation and empower them to make smart and safe choices.
