Tactical Medic Courses

[rsqmedic]

Has anyone been through Cypress Creek's Tactical class in Texas? I have attended others such as HK and HSS and I'm am curious if their program is solid.

rsqmedic, I've never been through CCATT class as a student but I volunteer for CCEMS and from what I've seen the class seems very solid. Every year when they do the class, I participate as a role player for their field training exercises and everything I have seen I've been incredibly impressed with. When I get the time, I eventually want to take part in the class as a student.

Thanks. I have spoken with Wren the program director he seems very sharp. I just like to do my homework before I drop $1000.

Yeah Wren is a really great guy. All the guys who teach the course seem really sharp; and from what I've seen the students seem to really enjoy the course and learn a lot. How was it that one of the Creek guys put it, oh yeah he said that the point of the course isn't to turn you into a SWAT team but rather teach you how to function within a tactical team and not get you or anyone else killed. From what I've seen I love the course, I think it's great and one day when I have the time and money I will definitely take it. Let me know how things work out.

I just has an HSS class and thought it was top notch. How was the H&K???? I've heard alot about that and I would love to go...it is a little out of my price range though...

Lot of shooting practice?

HK is great, I went to HSS about a year and a half ago and me and some other members of my department did not have a good experience. We basically ended up teaching a couple of the sections on airways and moving patients. We provided most of the equipment, red guns and medical equipment. I hope the program has gotten better. They definitely had some quality people working for them but the program at that time seemed very unorganized.

HK in contrast is very well organized and equipped. Yes it is a lot of money but the instruction is well worth it as well as getting some trigger time.
