FTACC covers practical occupational first aid, including casualty assessment, CPR, bleeding, sudden illness and workplace injury response. It follows the First Aid at Work syllabus and includes catastrophic bleeding as standard.
BTACC introduces practical casualty-care priorities such as scene assessment, recognition of severe bleeding, airway concerns, early escalation and handover. It may be suitable for designated workplace responders who want trauma-specific skills alongside their wider first aid responsibilities.
RTACC develops decision-making for more complex and high-risk trauma situations through structured casualty assessment, practical skills stations and realistic emergency scenarios. It is commonly aimed at professional or industrial response teams who may encounter serious injury in challenging conditions.

No. Both cover time-critical trauma response, but RTACC involves a more advanced level of training and a broader range of complex rescue and casualty-care scenarios.
We welcome enquiries for both from our base in Thirsk. Course dates, venue options and delegates' requirements are confirmed with you rather than assumed.
FTACC meets the published First Aid at Work syllabus, and BTACC can have an extended FAW-equivalent route. FTACC-E is the shorter emergency first aid option. Always confirm the qualification actually awarded and that it satisfies the employer’s needs assessment.
Yes, please enquire with your location, team size and the hazards your people encounter. We can discuss whether the course can be delivered at an appropriate workplace venue.
FTACC centres on occupational first aid for workplace first aiders. BTACC and RTACC develop progressively more advanced trauma skills for high-risk and professional responder roles. There is no single best course for everyone: choose based on duties, hazards and qualifications required.
FTACC is normally three days initially and maps to First Aid at Work. FTACC-E is normally one day and maps to Emergency First Aid at Work. We will confirm the exact route and certificate when you enquire.
