TECC. The first minutes decide.
Serious accident, disaster or remote area: Tactical Emergency Casualty Care is the civilian adaptation of military protocols (TCCC). You'll learn to act in an unstable environment to stop massive bleeding and stabilise a casualty before emergency services arrive.
- Phase 01
Direct threat
Acting under immediate threat. Priority: stop the bleeding and get to cover.
- Phase 02
Indirect threat
Threat contained: full care following the MARCH protocol and stabilisation of the casualty.
- Phase 03
Evacuation care
Preparing for transport and handing over the assessment to emergency services.
The MARCH protocol
- MMassive haemorrhage
- AAirway

↳ 04 · Frequently asked questions
First aid: your questions.
A session for your club or company?Sébastien will answer you directly.
01Are these courses only for divers?
No. While the DAN Oxygen modules are diving-specific, our BLS (Basic Life Support), First Aid and TCCC courses are open to everyone. They are ideal for companies, extreme-sports enthusiasts or anyone who wants to learn how to respond to a household accident or a crisis.
02What is TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) and why take it?
TCCC is a military-derived approach to treating casualties in hostile or remote environments. At Neotec, we adapt these techniques for civilians and expeditions. You'll learn to manage massive bleeding (tourniquet), secure an area and act under intense stress. It's the next level up from standard first aid.
03Are the certifications recognised?
Yes. We issue international DAN (Divers Alert Network) and First Response Training International certifications. These qualifications are recognised worldwide by dive centres, employers and civil-protection organisations.
04Do I need my own first-aid equipment?
No, all training equipment (manikins, training defibrillators, oxygen kits, tactical gear) is provided during the course. However, we can advise you and supply professional first-aid kits for purchase, for your personal use or your club.
05What's the difference between a standard first-aid course and the Neotec approach?
The instructor's experience. Sébastien Wilem is a former law-enforcement professional and Instructor Trainer. The Neotec approach goes beyond theory: we focus on stress management and the psychology of intervention. You won't just know what to do — you'll be mentally ready to do it.
