Remote Emergency Medical Technician

The REMT course is designed for individuals requiring an EMT certification for work in remote and austere locations

worldwide. Past students have been from the security, energy, international guides and academic industries. If you work or spend time in austere environments where access to medical care is often delayed and communication is unreliable, this six-day course is for you! The REMT and WFR are the industry standard for mountain leaders, professional guides, close protection team leaders, expeditions, and search and rescue team members.

Certifications: Remote EMT and an optional Tactical Responder

The REMT course provides medical skills and didactic learning for those looking to work in austere, remote and resource-poor environments.

IBSC Tactical Responder

REMT graduates are allowed to sit the board-certified Tactical Responder (TR-C) exam. The TR-C shows competency in casualty assessment, stabilisation, and evacuation in hostile and austere environments and supports the paramedic role, as well as thorough familiarity with tactical principles, triage, and operational medicine. TR-C candidates are operators functioning within a team and commonly have a primary role as a security team member with a secondary medic role.
