Description
A refresher course for those who need their two-yearly refresher to maintain the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Diver Medic Technician (DMT) qualification.
The DMT Refresher course has 30 contact hours. With the current COVID19 pandemic, 16 of these hours will be conducted via our tailor made pre-course e-learning platform. Actual class time will be 2 intensive days and is highly practical / scenario based.
Where Is The Course Held:
The training centre is based in Benalmadena, Spain. We are only 15 minutes from Malaga international Airport. We have a fabulous location in Puerta Marina; minutes from the beach, vibrant bars , restaurants and we are surrounded by hotels and AirBnB options. The area has embraced social distancing, Andalusia has never been terribly affected by the pandemic, but the area is proving a safe holiday option, many students attend with their family.

Having sat this course with Ian and his team twice now I can honestly say you won’t find a better constructed, fine tuned and honed course anywhere else.
Ian comes with a wealth of experience and is a true ambassador for the professional diving community. All staff are highly skilled, trained and current in their fields.
The course contains realistic scenarios aimed at developing and gaining confidence in your skills learned/refreshed during the course.
The equipment you will use is of the highest standard and all kit that you are supplied with is equipment found within your DMAC15 box ie you will get to know and familiarise yourself with the stuff you will be given if the worst should happen.
If you want to actually learn some real usable skills and gain confidence having actually performed them then your money is best invested at Trauma Training!
Thanks again Ian and team and looking forward to seeing you again in 2 years!

This course is the best , in my opinion , DMT/DMTR on the market. This is my 5th time doing it with Trauma Training , formerly LDC, and
Ian and the team are not only extremely knowledgable and professional , but they are still very relevant. The nurses Ian uses are still working in A and E wards. Ian himself as course leader , really has done it all. The equipment is first class , scenarios are realistic and the facilities are modern. I personally really enjoy the e-learning side of the course , working at my own pace . This means much more hands on stuff when you get there. The full course is still available to you online inc videos, in your account , for you to access at anytime. Great as a wee refresher. Cheers again!

Once again, After the 5th refresher course I am pleased to report the quality and depth of knowledge of the course hasn’t changed. What has changed is the addition of extra experienced staff and more e learning to provide flexibility for students. Well done again, see you in two years time!

The DMT refresher is always a pleasure to undertake, it does more than tick the boxes. Beyond refreshing hands on skills and knowledge, it levels up and enthuses a more invested and professional approach to the role of a DMT.
Oliver Byrne (verified owner) –
Ian and his amazing staff have a huge wealth of knowledge that they openly share with you during the course, it is always good to refresh your skills and learn new things on the way. The venue is top notch, the kit is great. on other courses kit felt tired and old here time and money has been spent in the right way.

Thanks to Ian and all the staff at Trauma Training, once again 10 out of 10 on the DMTR. I wish all training centers taught the content like in Trauma Training, we would be much safer out there…

A thorough and complete course run by very professional and competent nurses and medics. There are certainly less intense and challenging courses and refreshers out there but this course for me was a great experience and hands on learning. It will definitely be my refresher of choice in the future.
Sam Spalding (verified owner) –
Great course, even better location.
Thanks to Ian and all his staff at Trauma Training.
The E-learning really suited the schedule I had available for the course fitting it in between home/ work life.
The practical side was great fun and backed up with Ian and his teams years of experience.
Will definitely be back again next time around!

Always a good course. Completed 2 refreshers here and both times it was delivered above and beyond what was expected.
Good instructors & good practical skills learnt, practical scenarios in realistic settings (always a lot of blood).
Location is outstanding also.
Martin (verified owner) –
Good practical course run by Ian and his very friendly and competent staff. All done very efficiently and there is no standing around waiting for things to happen. Its realistic and relevant. The e-learning prior to the course is very helpful because it means less time away from home and much easier to fit into a busy schedule. The location is perfect and the school is situated 20mins from Malaga airport with loads of accommodation to choose from. All walking distance from the school. Highly recommended.
Steve Koch (verified owner) –
Best DMT / DMT-R I’ve done so far. Not being a fan of e-learning I must admit that the combination of e-learning and presential time was a very good combination.
Will surely recommend the course to all my friends .
Angel Portero Ruiz (verified owner) –
Undoubtedly one of the best DMT courses I have done, not only because of the location, which is unbeatable, since while you do the course you can enjoy Malaga and the Costa del Sol.
The course is very practical, dynamic and enjoyable. Don’t expect to sit in a classroom for hours listening to Ian, or his staff talk without stop while you’re drifting off to sleep. You do a lot of practics and different scenarios.

My first time with Ian Hughes at Trauma Training, my first ‘blended e-learning’ course and it is definitely the future.
Being able to digest the theoretical lectures at your leisure before attending the practical portion is highly conducive to the retention of knowledge that would so often be vaguely noticed through a low-oxygen, post lunch torpor in many other locations, and leaves the 2 remaining days of practical lectures to be very intensive and rewarding.
All the staff were of unquestionable expertise and competence…there were no negative points I could think of…
And being located in a Marina on the Costa Del Sol isn’t a bad marketing strategy, either…!
I fully intend to do any further courses I might need here with Trauma Training.

This is the best DMT you could do. Wish I had done all of mine years ago here.
The prior on line learning is well organised and very interesting saves you time sitting in a classroom. The practical side of the course is action packed hands on providing up to date knowledge. Ian and the staff are very knowledgeable about diving medic training and helpful throughout the course.
It is in a beautiful part of Spain easy access from the airport hotel is next door to course.
If Carlesberg did D M T this would be it ……

Great course, Great staff!!
Highly recommend doing your dmt here not just for the setting which is in lovely sunny Spain, but the material and equipment is industry leading.
Learning here was easy and teachers very approachable. Will always renew my dmt here from now on.

I could say…the most important course that divers should take…amazing skills & knowledge training
Wayne Foster (verified owner) –
Fantastic course. I was in 2 minds as I find the e learning boring but Ian made it enjoyable which is the first time I’ve said this about e learning. The 2 days in class was also really good and enjoyable so I wouldn’t be going anywhere in the future
Simon Jarrold (verified owner) –
My first time doing a refresher with Ian, and I can say, I won’t be going anywhere else in the future. The online element of the course was brilliant, you can dip in and out of it as and when it suits you. Would be perfect for deco, then the 2 days practical was well balanced with theory and hands on. Fantastic course.
Really good facilities and the location is amazing. I’ll be staying for longer next time, rather than just 3 nights.
Highly recommended

Had heard a lot of good things about Trauma/Ian and the DMT-r offered from various friends and colleagues. My DMT was due to expire and the dates lined up perfectly so booked up. Ian’s concept with the e-learning being done in your own time is really beneficial as it minimises any downtime and subsequent time out of work/away from home.
I would recommend the course alone based on this aspect however the practical knowledge taught and demonstrated is the real star. Ian and his team are obviously super experienced and knowledgeable and this comes through with the tuition delivered. All the scenarios are relatable and help you absorb the information well. It’s a really good setup with doing the exercises under a mocked up stressful situation as it’s much more realistic.
All in thoroughly recommended and I will certainly be doing my next refresher with Ian and the Trauma Training team.
Brad Falconer (verified owner) –
I highly recommend Trauma Trainings DMT/R. With Ian and his staff’s knowledge and experience on the subject of advanced trauma life support paired with a first class facility they are world leading.
The e-learning tutorials are great as you can take them at your own pace and go back and rewatch at any point if need be.
The location of the facility Benalmádena is not a bad spot either, close to the beach, pubs and restaurants with plenty of accommodation to suit all budgets.
Trauma Training deliver an enjoyable value for money course.
I’ll be returning for my next refresher

Really thorough course, and the e-learning allows for only two days in class room. All the staff are extremely experienced, knowledgable and welcoming. There’s even continual learning once you complete the course so you don’t have skills fade.

I have been doing my refresher with Ian for many years, since the time he was located in London. I previously did it in other centers and I have a background in emergency medicine and I can say for sure this is the best one that I have been.
Ian knows his skills very well and has the field experienced as he can connect with the divers really well and knows how to explain things even when people struggle to understand.
The facilities and the materials are top notch. The personnel are also very skilled and always helpful. They way that Ian structures the course make it very easy to learn and attend. I very high recommended it. Thanks Ian.

Course was EXCELLENT! Course Instruction was given on E-Learning which caught you up to date with everything medic oriented. Two Day refresher in MALAGA SPAIN… Awesome Place , Awesome Course! Highly Recommend any Course here! Medics was Great!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
DannyFinaughty (verified owner) –
Previously completed three DMT courses all with different providers.
I can hand down say the Trauma Training has to be the very best, with exceptional knowledgeable lecturers and nurses with years of hands on experience in different medical fields.
Certainly would not have any hesitation recommending them to anyone wanting great value for money, actually getting the hand on practice in very realistic and relevant scenarios
Cheers Ian and the team at Trauma Training, see you on the next refresher.

I just succesfully completed my dmt refresher training.
It was again a joy to take part. With very helpfull instructors, excellent facilities and really good set with the e-learning and practical training at the centre.
Thanks Ian, I will come back for my next dmt refresher course
Mattias Henriksson (verified owner) –
I have done my DMT refresher with Trauma training once again. Very good course and lots of good theoretical but also practical scenarios. Highly recommended training center perfectly located for a few days training in sunny Spain.
James Masse Dowd –
By far the best DMT and DMTR training on the market today. This is my 6th time refreshing my DMT and wouldn’t do it anywhere else. Everything from current nurse instructors with up to date knowledge and practical skills to Ian’s large body of knowledge and field experience, really makes this training center unique. Ian has worked hard to create an extensive on line e-learning video tutorials program that
I believe is one of the most practical type of train style for an offshore worker. I only wish that
more training centers in our diving industry would adapted to this methodology that Trauma Training has produced .Thanks again to all the instructors and I will see you all in two years!
