Active Bystander: TECC Training

XCAL Shooting Sports and Fitness

44950 Russell Branch Parkway

Ashburn, Virginia 20147 Map

Event Info

For any incident, like the Las Vegas massacre to the Boston Marathon bombings, citizens play a role in saving lives in the minutes following an attack. It is imperative that we provide the knowledge and skills necessary to help our community save lives until our professional responders can arrive.

The TECC Active Bystander Certification Course, or Active Bystander for short, is the premiere training program to prepare civilians for how to respond during an intentional violence event and to address life threatening emergencies. Similar to the FEMA personal preparedness course “You Are The Help Until Help Arrives,” this dynamic and hands-on class will cover basic strategies and skills to recognize violent activities, respond safety, provide immediate rescue and initiate stabilizing medical care to the injured, and report them effectively to 911. The skills you will learn are transferable to countless situations involving traumatic injury, which include car accidents, household injuries or an active shooter.

Come and learn how to be an active bystander from our nationally recognized TECC experts and be prepared to act and save lives. Upon completion of this course, participants will receive a TECC Active Bystander certificate.
