International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) is accepted internationally as the standard training course for prehospital trauma care.

ITLS combines classroom learning and hands-on skill stations.
It is designed for providers who are first on the scene to evaluate and stabilize the trauma patient. The courses provide complete training in the skills needed for the rapid assessment, resuscitation, stabilization, and transportation of trauma patients.
The ITLS Advanced course builds on current knowledge, emphasizing evaluation steps and sequences as well as techniques for resuscitating and packaging patients. ITLS Advanced is appropriate for nurses, trauma nurses, doctors, offshore medics, military medics, and other advanced emergency personnel.
