This first module will focus on the basic principles and application of TCCC. At the end of the course, you will be expected to demonstrate the application of TCCC skills in a practical exercise. This module, along with those that follow, will set the stage for you to successfully complete that demonstration.

Throughout the course, you’ll see the enabling learning objectives listed as cognitive or psychomotor. The cognitive objectives are knowledge-based, while the psychomotor objects require that you learn and demonstrate a skill.

There are 13 cognitive learning objectives for this first module listed on this slide. Unlike future modules that primarily focus on clinical knowledge and skills, this module will help you understand the basis for the development of TCCC and its value to the warfighter, as well as help prepare you to be able to oversee training for others in your organization.
