Fairfax County, Va. Event Calendar

The Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Active Bystander Certification course, also known as Active Bystander, is the premier training program to prepare civilians for how to respond during an intentional violent event and to address life-threatening emergencies.

Similar to FEMA’s 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 safely, provide immediate rescue and initiate stabilizing medical care to the injured, and effectively report to 911. The skills students learn are transferable to countless situations involving traumatic injury, including 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 save lives. Upon completion of this course, participants will receive a TECC Active Bystander certificate.
