Course Overview

The Stop The Bleed (Advanced) course builds upon foundational hemorrhage control skills and is designed for individuals seeking greater proficiency through realistic, scenario-based application.

This course moves beyond basic skill exposure and focuses on decision-making under stress, effective casualty management in dynamic environments, and the efficient application of advanced bleeding control techniques. Participants train in time-critical conditions that require prioritization, adaptability, and confident execution prior to the arrival of advanced medical care.

Instruction emphasizes how and when to apply hemorrhage control, not just how to perform individual techniques. Scenarios reflect realistic environments such as workplaces, public settings, and higher-risk situations where access, movement, and limited resources must be considered.
