A complete self-preservation curriculum cannot end with the fight. Mark Tucker — FA1 Combat Medic, PHTLS certified, FREC4 qualified, Stop The Bleed Certified Instructor, and an active SWAST Community First Responder awarded the SWAST Chief Executive’s Commendation — delivers trauma training that saves lives.
Most self-preservation courses stop at the physical confrontation. C360 Training does not.
The reality of violence is that injury occurs — and in the critical minutes before emergency services arrive, the actions of bystanders, victims, and trained individuals are the difference between life and death. Haemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in traumatic injury. Airway obstruction kills in minutes. These are not edge cases — they are the predictable outcomes of the threats our courses prepare you for.
Mark Tucker brings a rare combination to trauma training: he is not just a CPD-accredited, ProTrainings-certified first aid instructor. He is an FA1 Combat Medic with PHTLS, FREC4, and ILS qualifications. He has treated casualties. He serves as an active Community First Responder with SWAST and was awarded the SWAST Chief Executive’s Commendation Award — the highest recognition the Trust grants. And he teaches trauma in the context of the self-preservation system it is part of — not as an isolated skill, but as the final essential layer of a complete response to violence.
Instructor Credentials
Six core competencies — taught in the context of the self-preservation threats C360 Training prepares you for.
Tourniquet application, wound packing, pressure dressings. The leading cause of preventable traumatic death. The first minutes are critical — you will learn to act in them.
Head-tilt chin-lift, jaw thrust, recovery position, basic adjuncts. Airway obstruction is silent and fast. Recognition and action are life-saving skills.
Penetrating chest trauma, abdominal wounds, neck wounds. Responses to the specific injury types most likely to result from the threats covered in C360’s self-preservation curriculum.
Entry and exit wound management, haemothorax considerations, trauma assessment priorities for ballistic injury. Relevant for security professionals, military personnel, and high-risk environments.
Adult CPR to UK & European Resuscitation Council 2021 guidelines. AED use. Recovery position. Scene safety and casualty assessment. The non-negotiable baseline.
DRABC, scene safety, primary and secondary survey, prioritisation of multiple casualties, communication with emergency services. Systematic thinking under pressure.

Haemorrhage control and airway management are not specialist skills — they are skills every capable adult should possess.
Complete the curriculum. If you train to defend, train to treat. The physical confrontation is only part of the threat.

Medical cover knowledge for those managing public events. Practical skills that complement your duty of care obligations.
Haemorrhage control and airway management are skills every parent should have. You cannot always wait for the ambulance.
Workplace first aid obligations. Meaningful training, not tick-box compliance. Your staff deserve instruction that actually works.
Mark Tucker
FA1 Combat Medic · PHTLS · FREC4 · ILS · FROS 3 · SWAST CFR
Mark Tucker is not a first aid instructor who happened to work in security. He is a former Royal Marine Commando and Iraq private military contractor who spent years acquiring the medical qualifications his operational life demanded. His trauma training carries the same weight as his combatives instruction: it is grounded in real-world casualty experience, delivered to military-grade standards, and taught in the context of the threats you actually face.
As an active South Western Ambulance Service Trust Community First Responder, Mark attends real emergencies in his community — and was awarded the SWAST Chief Executive’s Commendation Award, the highest recognition the Trust grants, for his contribution to pre-hospital emergency care.
“Trauma training should not be an afterthought. It is the final layer of a complete system. If you have trained to defend, train to treat.”
