What was meant by going overseas was working as a private security contractor; having previous experience before you start their own training is pretty much a requirement, though any decent company will want real-world experience, not just a class.
To be honest, I would recommend not bothering to take a course like this. Unless you are already working for a tactical team (SWAT, SERT, ERT etc) and this is how they get you your initial training, it's pointless, and, very likely, you will be around a bunch of whackers and wannabe rambo's. Anything you do learn you will very likely not be using, and, as a basic, anything medical you can learn/do will be minimal. (and again, think about who will actually be there AND who is teaching it; check that thoroughly if you do go).
Generally speaking, real tactical medics are part of whatever team they work with, either as sworn officers or through a contract with their service. If this is something you actually want to do, find out what is done in your area and start that way. If you get accepted as a team member, any good team will see to your training.
