Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this training important?
Learning to stop the bleed is a lifesaving skill. The number 1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding.
Is there a minimum age requirement?
There is no minimum age requirement, but the training does include graphic images and content included in the presentation. We have taught the class to all ages, and we advise parents to make their down decisions.
I've taken a Stop the Bleed class before. Is this the same thing?
That depends. You may have taken a class based on the American College of Surgeons (ACS) curriculum. We teach the Until Help Arrives curriculum developed by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (C-TECC). C-TECC is an organization dedicated to developing and promoting evidence-based medical guidelienes for emergency responders operating in high-threat environments. Based upon evidence from real-world incidents, the Until Help Arrives program includes additional content and medical interventions that are not included in the ACS Stop the Bleed program.
