CTOMS Academy is scheduled to launch at the end of March. This is a new online training platform that CTOMS has been developing over the last 2 years. With such a high demand for their training, CTOMS wanted to offer a solution on a much broader scale, while at the same time improving the delivery consistency, quality, and making access to it more convenient and cost effective. This led to the creation of an inhouse video production capability. Mission Essential Training remains the practical training division of CTOMS and continues to run in person tactical medical training.
The courses are arranged in building block formation, where different training modules will build on each other. These modules are engaging, narrated videos that include animation and video demonstrations to provide visual representation of the topics. The videos are on average 10 minutes, making accessibility and progress of the training convenient.
There are both civilian and tactical oriented casualty approach courses. The tactical medical programs cover the principals of TCCC, but do not offer formal TCCC Certification as this requires the verbatim use of the PHTLS slides. Instead, these courses use animation and live demonstration videos edited into in depth narrated script.
Phase 1 launch includes foundation building courses. Subsequent course releases will include a wide variety of topics that will both stand alone and build upon the existing courses. These include guest contributors who are experts in their fields.
