BCCTPC Tactical Paramedic

[Scott33]

Sorry if this is a repost.

The Board For Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification has recently announced that they have developed a tactical paramedic exam. The BCCTPC, who already provide exams for critical care and flight paramedics (CCP-C and FP-C), say the TP-C exam will be available to take in the spring.

What is a good entry level text ? That along with practical training would prepare you for the exam and a follow on career in tactical ems ? How is this one in your experience

Seems like a fun certification to get, but how many people do you think will actually get a full time paid job because of this certification?

Zero... maybe with an additional Zero added in for marketing...

I don't see any real value to this course...

I could literally challenge and pass it today. So could most of the paramedics on this board. Easy.
