International Trauma Life Support Courses give you the knowledge and hands-on skills to take better care
of trauma patients. The ITLS framework is a global standard that enables you to master the latest
techniques in rapid assessment, appropriate intervention and identification of immediate life-threatening
injuries. The ITLS course qualifies for 24 CPD points, 1 of which are Ethics points. (College of Medicine
South Africa)
ITLS is accepted internationally as the standard training course for pre-hospital trauma care. It is used as a
state-of-the-art continuing education course — and as an essential curriculum in many paramedic, EMT
and first-responder training programs.
ITLS courses combine classroom learning and hands-on skill stations. Scenario assessment stations
enable you to put your learning to work in simulated trauma situations. Each ITLS course includes a
comprehensive manual sent to you in advance. The manual enhances your learning experience with in-
depth content, photos and illustrations. ITLS manuals are written by trauma care experts and edited by the
ITLS editorial board. After the course, you can turn to the manual as a valuable recap of what you’ve
learned.
ITLS empowers EMS personnel with the knowledge and skills to provide optimal care for the injured in the
pre-hospital setting. We offer a variety of training options to suit the requirements of all levels and
backgrounds of pre-hospital emergency personnel around the world.
These comprehensive courses are designed for providers who are first to evaluate and stabilize the trauma
patient. The courses provide complete training in the skills needed for rapid assessment, resuscitation,
stabilization and transportation of trauma patients.
The ITLS Basic course provides the core of knowledge and skills appropriate for all levels of EMS
personnel, including EMT-Bs, first responders and other technicians.
The ITLS Advanced course builds on this knowledge, emphasizing evaluation steps and sequencing as
well as techniques for resuscitating and packaging patients. ITLS Advanced is appropriate for advanced
EMTs, paramedics, trauma nurses, physicians and other advanced EMS personnel. Hands-on stations
include:
Spinal motion restriction — rapid extrication, short back board, helmet management, log roll, and
long back board/ scoop stretcher utilization
