HCC-100: Hemorrhage Control Course for Security Professionals

HCC-100 is the Eight Point Solutions Hemorrhage Control Course for Security Professionals, a 4-hour online course for security officers, event and venue staff, protective detail members, supervisors, and anyone who has taken BCB-100 and will be the person with one kit and two hands on the night there are more casualties than either. Delivered self-paced on the EPS Portal from Lanham, Maryland, the course builds on BCB-100 and teaches the rest of the casualty in the order the military and the tactical medical community settled on: MARCH. Massive hemorrhage under stress, the tourniquet that fails and the second one above it, junctional bleeding packed to the source, the pelvis and the binder, and self-aid. The airway by position, clearing, and the nasal airway only where trained and authorized. The chest, the vented seal front and back, and the chest that is failing recognized and reported. Circulation read with three checks in thirty seconds and said as numbers, hypothermia treated as bleeding control, and the head watched with the mind check. Triage with the START sort, the drags and the carries, the casualty collection point, the handoff of many, and the record. Content aligns with Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care principles and the Hartford Consensus. Tuition is $25.00. The official HCC-100 Course Syllabus, Version 1.0 is included in Module 1. Five modules cover from basics to MARCH, massive hemorrhage advanced, airway and respiration, circulation, hypothermia, and the head, and more than one casualty. Completion requires all five modules, every module quiz passed at 80 percent or higher, the 50-item final examination passed at 90 percent or higher, and the course sign-off. The EPS Hemorrhage Control Certification is serial-numbered, recorded in the EPS registry, verifiable through the EPS Portal, and valid for two years. The credential documents completion of EPS training in the knowledge and the sequence. It is not a medical license, not a TCCC or TECC certification, not a substitute for hands-on practice, and not a state security license, and it does not authorize any procedure that breaks the skin or any use of force. HCC-100 is governed by EPS-DIR-001 and the HCC-100 Course Syllabus. Built to be taken after BCB-100, the EPS Bleeding Control Basics Course. Samuel Romanzo, Training Director.

01
Module 1: From Basics to MARCH
3 lessons · 0.5 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers the EPS Portal from login through the final examination, the course map, and the grading rules that govern certification. Covers where this course starts, on BCB-100, what it adds, the MARCH sequence letter by letter, where MARCH comes from, the hot, warm, and cold zones and who decides them, and the kit this course adds. Establishes the rule that runs the whole course: in a casualty, the order of care is decided before you arrive, and massive hemorrhage is first. States plainly that the course teaches no procedure that breaks the skin and is not a TCCC or TECC certification.
02
Module 2: Massive Hemorrhage, Advanced
1 lesson · 1.0 hours, self-paced. Closes with a quiz that passes at 80 percent. Covers the tourniquet under stress with the check that untrained rescuers skip, the four ways a tourniquet fails and the second tourniquet that fixes all of them, the tourniquet that has been on a while, junctional bleeding found, packed to the source, held, and repacked only when certain, the junctional device only if trained, the pressure point as a twenty-second stopgap, the pelvis with no rocking and a binder or an improvised one at the trochanters, self-aid one-handed, and the T sentence said before moving to A.
