Initial board review for tactical team members who are not paramedics. We work the TR-C content outline: casualty assessment, stabilization and evacuation in hostile and austere settings, aligned to the TECC and TCCC phases of care. The IBSC exam has 100 scored items in 2 hours and is delivered by live remote proctor, and the certification is valid for four years. The hybrid option adds an in-person skills day at our training center. The IBSC exam fee is not included. Our IBSC Approved Review Course application is pending, so this course is exam preparation only.

FAQ
No. You apply for the TR-C exam and pay IBSC directly. IBSC lists the fee at $175 for affiliate members and $195 for non-members on its 2026 fee schedule. IBSC sets eligibility and testing options, and we do not administer or score IBSC exams.
Yes, on the hybrid option: two live remote class days plus one in-person skills day in the simulation lab at our training center. IBSC exams are knowledge exams with no skills station, so the skills day is for your practice, not an IBSC requirement.
Do not count on it. IBSC recertifies TR-C by retest, or with current EMR-level certification or higher plus at least 16 hours of tactical casualty care education consistent with TCCC or TECC that is state, provincial or CAPCE approved. IBSC's 2026 TR-C handbook names the NAEMT TCCC course as acceptable for those 16 hours. This course is exam review, our IBSC Approved Review Course application is pending, and we have not confirmed CE approval for it. Check with IBSC before counting any of our hours toward recertification.
