Tactical
Medicine meets
Improvisation

5 Stars + My expectations were far exceeded! I'm a paramedic with experience in emergency medical care, although that experience dates back several years. Max quickly adapted to my knowledge from the start. The practical day, in particular, was an experience I can recommend to anyone in emergency medical care. Max has a tremendous wealth of medical knowledge, addressed my individual level, and his techniques and methods helped me more than advance. I learned things on the practical day that are applicable to everyday life and realistic – content that was never taught in any of the training courses I've seen. A must for anyone who wants to take their knowledge in trauma care to the next level. I'd do it again anytime. Thank you, Max! I highly recommend it!

The decision to do the training with Max and choose it over traditional course formats was absolutely the right one for me. From the very first contact, the communication was very pleasant, always open, and above all, engaging. I really appreciate that. The same thing happened in the training. The feedback/criticism was always appropriate. The training time passed very quickly. It was challenging, but not overloaded with content. It was also extremely pleasant on a personal level. Regardless of the technical expertise, the training was of an extremely high standard! It's great to see an instructor so well-versed in their subject matter that they can adapt the content individually during the training, respond flexibly, and still fit everything in on schedule. A skill that is absolutely impressive. I highly recommend it!

Max is a dedicated instructor with a wealth of expertise. I really liked his direct and friendly manner. I learned a lot from him and was able to/had to apply some of what he taught in practice. I'm grateful for that, and I highly recommend him and his training.

So, first of all, 6 out of 5 stars!!! Highly recommended! Max's customised and individual training was an absolute enrichment! Highly competent, practical, and excellently structured. I not only gained in-depth knowledge, but also many practical skills that I can apply immediately. Highly professional! Thank you very much – a clear recommendation for anyone who wants to become more confident and improve in this field!

A practical training day with Max – The Improvising Medic – is simply fantastic, and I highly recommend it. It was a very entertaining and incredibly educational day. In a short time, I learned many essential things for quickly assessing and assisting a wounded patient through explanations, demonstrations, drill training, and practice scenarios. I feel confident in my daily life, both in my personal and professional life, helping people and colleagues in stressful, exceptional situations. Max is a completely competent trainer whose teaching style, methodology, and execution of the individual exercises (even with an actor) made the training a lot of fun. He treats you as an equal, and you can tell he's fully immersed in this topic. Thank you very much for that.

I was able to enjoy training with Max in the government sector, and this continued even after my time with the government. What makes him truly qualified is his unconventional approach to teaching things in an understandable way, and his many hacks and tips ensure a significant learning curve in the shortest possible time.

After the theory lessons, practical training followed! It was AMAZING! Max provides highly personalised training, with extreme dedication and passion. No questions are left unanswered, and the training structure (including wounded actors) is extremely beneficial! The methodology of explaining, demonstrating, and practicing with drills definitely guarantees success for the student. Every cent was worth it, and I would contact Max again and again, as well as recommend him to others! Thanks for everything!

With no prior medical experience other than basic first aid and tactical casualty care training with the police, Max taught me a clean and efficient first attack approach to treating the wounded. His teaching method, theory combined with multiple practical drills makes it easy, even for a complete novice, to quickly and confidently learn medical skills and be able to work safely and, above all, quickly after just a few hours. I highly recommend his training to anyone who might has to save lives, whether colleagues or civilians, due to their job.

OUTSTANDING — I had the privilege to learn a lot from Max. I joined his training on a basic medical level. His knowledge is beyond badassery but the 2 things that really changed my life are: 1. the way he teaches stuff. Even complex topics Max made them a nobrainer for me. 2. His absolute badass Mindset. His thoughts and planning processes are from another universe. Thank you Max for helping me out with planning the medical environment on Company Lvl for deployment. And I really look forward to many years of further training.

Absolutely outstanding training! Max explains everything clearly and understandably, and he has plenty of hacks up his sleeve. You learn how to work more easily, quickly, and efficiently, and how to improvise in special situations within the medical field. The training is definitely recommended for everyone — whether you have no prior medical knowledge or are already familiar with the subject. With the help of a clearly structured plan, you gain new skills that you can confidently apply after completing the training. Conclusion: 100% recommended!

The training with Max was truly enriching. In most medical advanced and continuing education courses, either only the basics without practical application are taught or it's just drill training without a solid foundation. Max, however, combined theory and practice excellently and imparted evidence-based techniques that promoted a comprehensive understanding of processes and one's own actions. The result was a vast toolkit of options for action. Whether in a military deployment or a civilian accident, the systems he taught are universally applicable. His experience, expertise, and humour made the training a unique experience. TLDR: Training with Max is an invaluable gain in knowledge and skills for EVERYONE.

Excellent, practical training from an experienced specialist. Absolutely professional and sets high standards for both himself and the participants.

The decision to hire Max as an instructor was based on the expectation of benefiting from his extensive practical experience and thus optimising the training. The training was individually tailored to my needs after prior discussion of the subject areas. A theory block served as a foundation and could be implemented immediately on the practical day. Through targeted training exercises, procedures were reinforced and, for example, the time required to apply a tourniquet was significantly improved. However, the greatest impact was working with an injured actor compared to working with a dummy. It was definitely not the last training session with Max!

As an active hunter (also abroad and in remote regions) and as an active shooter, it was important to me to improve my skills in intensive, emergency wound care for myself and my companions. Having discovered Max online, we had an initial online conversation to explore the possibility. The result was a very intensive one-on-one training session over two days, each lasting eight hours. Building on my background as a former paramedic, Max met me exactly where I was. Basic skills were developed and supplemented with numerous, sometimes exciting and very unconventional, tips and tricks from his many years of professional experience. The first focus was on learning various skills. Next, the assessment drill was intensively reviewed. Finally, practical emergency scenarios, which had to be worked through in full, presented the challenge of bringing everything learned together. As an instructor, Max was always on hand, offering just the right amount of support and criticism. Overall, two very strenuous and challenging days, but besides being a lot of fun, they achieved one thing above all: I now feel sufficiently guided to act quickly and safely in critical situations and, if necessary, save my own life or the lives of others! So, once again, many thanks to Max for his valuable training and his friendly and personable manner.

During my time in the german armed forces, Max was my instructor for medical training several times. The training was not only of high quality in terms of material and personnel. Max had an unconventional way of imparting knowledge and you could tell that he had a lot of real-life experience. The whole thing, peppered with his humour, was really enriching. It was a great time!

I want to extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding workshop led by Max. It was, without a doubt, one of the best I have attended so far. His ability to react instantly to any question or scenario was truly impressive, demonstrating not only deep practical knowledge but also a wealth of real-world experience. What stood out the most was his ability to adapt and improvise — something that can only come from having faced high-pressure situations firsthand. His teaching style was engaging, insightful, and highly applicable, making the workshop both educational and dynamic. Thank you, Max, for sharing your expertise in such an effective and professional manner. It was a pleasure learning from you!

I know Max from his active time in the military and I was often lucky to complete tactical medic training with him. He has enormous medical and tactical expertise and is happy to pass it on. He is always fully motivated and gets straight to the point. If you are looking for an honest, efficient trainer, Max is the right choice.

For certain reasons, I needed to be brought up to a higher knowledge medically. Not with purely academic knowledge, but with extensive practical experience. That was my expectation before I started. Max far exceeded that expectation.

Max has a unique way of explaining and teaching his material. Even without much previous experience, he can make the things that are essential clear and easy to understand so that you can remember them immediately without much follow-up. He conveys the material in a unique kind of way, that really makes you want to listen to him and keeps you following up on what he is talking about. Its not the normal, boring classroom where you don't want listen because you are bored, because you wont be bored when Max is explaining something. I really enjoyed the training, even if it was only via calls, and I now feel much better prepared than before. He clearly exceeded my expectations, which were already very high.

Max is an excellent medic instructor. He explains complex topics in a clear and understandable way, so you feel confident in applying what you've learned. Max is patient, motivating, and always willing to answer questions. I'm grateful for his support and highly recommend him as an instructor.

My name is Jan and I'm an outdoor enthusiast. I contacted The Improvising Medic (Max) to be better prepared for medical emergencies in nature and in everyday life. The course consisted of two calls and two face-to-face sessions. Max went through all of the agreed topics and always met my current level of knowledge. His pragmatic approach provided me with very good and helpful input. I particularly liked the numerous small hints and tips on improvisation. The drills were the highlight for me personally. They were crucial for handling patients in less time. I hope I never have to use any of these, but if I do, I will handle the situation more confidently thanks to the intensive training with Max.

Absolutely outstanding! As a Tactical Medic Trainer, his skills are unparalleled, offering unique knowledge that truly sets him apart. His training sessions are filled with invaluable hacks and practically proven techniques that you won't find anywhere else. Delivered in an inimitable style, his instruction elevates the medic level of every student exponentially. If you're looking to advance your tactical medical skills, his training is a game-changer.

I'm currently training to be an emergency paramedic as part of the Bundeswehr's civilian training and continuing education program. The training is high-quality, and the Bundeswehr's support for civilian training is excellent. Unfortunately, the military aspects and the perspective on the environment I'll be working in later are far too limited. That's why I was looking for some "tutoring" to refresh my memory and pick up tips and tricks from an experienced medic. I found what I was looking for with Max. He created a plan for me, combining online instruction and practical training, that picked me up exactly where I was. I was able to refresh many things and learn a lot. The skills training, in particular, has helped me further. It's definitely helped me improve my level of confidence and workflow. It also helped me enormously that Max brought along a actor as casualty with whom I was able to work and train really well. Thanks again to him. Overall, the practical training was on a significantly higher level than anything I've seen in school before. I'm glad I worked with Max. I learned a lot for myself, for my civilian training, and a number of tricks and skills that I've already had to and been able to use.

Theoretical and practical training at the highest level tailored to the user. Especially for advanced tactical medicine outside the box. Experienced instructor. Methodologically and didactically excellent.

The training with Max was very intensive, and the time was fully utilised. Max has a wealth of knowledge, and everyone will learn something new. His training is individually tailored to their abilities.

We booked a customised course for shooting range accidents (3 people). Max didn't try to force us and our content into a formula, but rather adapted the course to what could actually happen to us. Therefore, the training was very effective and gave us a tremendous amount of confidence. Definitely recommend it, especially for individual topics and small groups.

It was an honour to share some work-experience with Max for couple of years. I profited a lot of his knowledge and learned as much as possible. He trained me in all medical belongings even on the tactical site which helped me to raise my skills to an high level without having any civilian training. His hacks are a game-changer when it comes to time factors, simplicity and self confidence.

I wanted to deepen my basic first aid knowledge for my specific role in the police force. After a brief initial consultation, Max immediately had an idea of what I needed, and he was able to provide me with the perfect training for my field/activity. His practical experience, medical knowledge, and teaching skills add tremendous value and motivate me to learn more! Max is a relaxed, cool, and humorous guy who teaches his craft with a lot of passion. I definitely recommend him, and see you soon, Max!

"Improvising medic" Not only a cool name but also a program. Enlightenment for the point of view how easy and quick I can change some things I never think about. As an on duty GER Ranger with tactical medic background I can only recommend that training for any kind of service-member or medical personal! Hope to see you soon keep always improvising big man.

Our K9 sports team found the seminar on emergency care for dogs in acute cases very interesting and informative. We learned a lot and now feel more confident in dealing with our dogs, even in dire situations. We would recommend the seminar to every dog owner. Max presented the topic very well and understandably, both theoretically and practically.

High performance individual teaching without compromise. All skills gained in practice for the practice.

In the short time I had the pleasure of learning from Max, I noticed his direct, realistic approach. No fuss, just empirical evidence combined with instructions that are both understandable and easy to implement. Even after 10 years in the emergency services, I was still able to learn a lot, even in basic patient care. I would do it again anytime. Highly recommended.

I recently supported a medical training session conducted by Max. The relevance and usefulness of the content for professional practice was very high, and the structure and organisation of the training to be well thought out and efficient. The quality and clarity of the training content were excellent, making complex topics easier to understand. Max demonstrated a high level of competence and employed effective teaching methods that facilitated learning for the entire training audience. I have known Max for a long time and as 18 D Medic like Max is, it is always a pleasure working with him together.

Max stands out in both didactic and technical aspects. He has a unique ability to connect with participants and help them achieve sustainable performance improvements. I have personally benefited from his expertise multiple times and always learn something new. And as if that weren't enough, working with Max is simply a lot of fun. If you work in military or law enforcement operations, emergency medical services, or firefighting and want to enhance your skills in tactical medicine? Book Max! Couldn't recommend more!!

My team trained under the guidance of Max. He showed us many good handling tips and was able to explain corresponding scenarios through his well-founded knowledge. Overall, he has made us a lot better again.

I've known Max for over six years now and have experienced him as an instructor in a variety of scenarios. Aside from the fact that he's a completely straightforward and absolutely reliable person, he has one truly unique selling point. Thanks to his broad professional background, Max can serve both government tactical medicine and civilian emergency services. He bridges the gap that many fail to achieve. He quickly recognises who needs to be addressed and is therefore very flexible in his training approach, depending on the target group. Max is open and direct, yet always warm. Anyone who misses the opportunity to learn from him has only themselves to blame.

I met Max at my first Cric training, and he's been with me ever since throughout my medic career. A professional with outstanding expertise. A true asset to us SWAT MEDICS.
