BCB-100G: Bleeding Control Basics Course

BCB-100G is the Eight Point Solutions Bleeding Control Basics Course, a 4-hour online course for employees, managers, hospitality and front desk staff, teachers, event volunteers, parents, and community members who may be nearby when someone is severely injured. Delivered self-paced on the EPS Portal from Lanham, Maryland, it teaches the knowledge used to recognize life-threatening bleeding, call 911, find the wound, and select direct pressure, wound packing, or a commercial limb tourniquet within your training. It explains reassessment, tourniquet timing, second-tourniquet decisions, shock recognition, warmth, the MIST handoff, kit readiness, and immediate exposure response. Content reflects the Hartford Consensus approach to public bleeding control and current first aid principles; OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 is explained for covered occupational exposures. Tuition is $25.00 and is not refundable. The official BCB-100G Course Syllabus, Version 1.0 is included in Module 1. Five modules cover the helper and the bleed; recognizing and stopping the bleed; where bleeds happen; the scene, shock, and the handoff; and the kit, the workplace, and the record. Completion requires all five modules, every 30-item module quiz passed at 80 percent or higher with unlimited attempts, the 50-item final examination passed at 90 percent or higher within two attempts, and the 10-item course sign-off. The EPS Bleeding Control Basics Certification is serial-numbered, recorded in the EPS registry, verifiable through the EPS Portal, and valid for two years; renewal requires the current course at its published tuition. It documents assessed knowledge and course completion, not hands-on competency. It is not a license of any kind, a first aid or CPR card, or a medical qualification, and it does not authorize force, detention, search, or entry into an unsafe scene. First aid requires consent where the person can give it and must remain within your actual training. The course does not replace dispatcher instructions, employer procedures, or an emergency action plan. BCB-100G is governed by EPS-DIR-001 and its Course Syllabus, Version 1.0, and provides the foundation for HCC-100G. Samuel Romanzo, Training Director. Kawika Rogers, Managing Partner.

Modules & lessons.

01
Module 1: The Helper and the Bleed
3 lessons · 0.5 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers the Portal sequence, completion rules, the Hartford Consensus, severe bleeding, alerting help, scene safety, gloves, exposure response, and consent. Establishes prompt action from a safe position while emergency services are called. States plainly that the credential assesses knowledge and does not establish hands-on competency or guarantee an emergency outcome.
02
Module 2: Recognizing and Stopping the Bleed
1 lesson · 1.0 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers the 911 call, finding the wound, direct pressure, packing, commercial tourniquet placement, tightening, reassessment, recording times, and adding a second tourniquet when needed. Establishes continuous effective pressure, device-specific instructions, and checks that bleeding has stopped. States plainly that plain gauze has no universal ten-minute endpoint and a bystander never loosens or removes a placed tourniquet.
03
Module 3: Where Bleeds Happen
1 lesson · 0.5 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers limb and junctional wounds, torso and chest injuries, head and face wounds, embedded objects, amputation, and the first decisions when several people are hurt. Establishes selection of the method that fits the wound and the responder's actual training, with urgent reporting of breathing problems. States plainly that chest and abdominal cavities are not packed, chest dressings require reassessment, and a person's noise level alone does not set priority.
04
Module 4: The Scene, Shock, and the Handoff
1 lesson · 0.5 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers scene assessment, safe assistance, limits on movement, shock recognition, warmth, cooperation with other helpers, and the MIST handoff. Establishes care in a safe location, observation of changes, dispatcher guidance, and clear transfer of intervention times. States plainly that this course does not authorize hot or warm zone entry and does not replace CPR, AED, or emergency dispatcher instructions.
05
Module 5: The Kit, the Workplace, and the Record
1 lesson · 0.5 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers kit location and inspection, supply quality, workplace planning, drills, supervised practice, immediate exposure response, waste handling, records, and debriefs. Establishes readiness before an incident and prompt reporting and medical evaluation after a blood exposure. States plainly that OSHA bloodborne pathogen duties apply to covered occupational exposure and the online credential is not a practical skills assessment.
