Trauma and Crime Scene Technician (TCST)

The IICRC-approved Trauma and Crime Scene Technician (TCST) course provides training in the proper maintenance and cleaning of trauma and crime scenes. Emphasis is placed on the following topics: health and safety requirements, including the donning and doffing of personal protective equipment and creating a hazard assessment of the area; structural remediation; contents remediation; and the cleaning and disposal of vehicles and industrial machinery, including lockout/tagout and working with industrial site officers. Cleaning techniques and equipment will be demonstrated, and laws regarding hazardous waste, transport, storage, and disposal will be discussed. This course will enable the participant to obtain IICRC TCST certification.

The Coach8 TCST course can be conducted onsite or online. The onsite in-person course is held over a 2-day period. The online livestream course is conducted for 4 hours per day over a 3-day period.

Participants earn 14 IICRC Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for attending this course.

Lunches and snacks are provided by Coach8, except when the course is conducted online.

Please read our Terms and Conditions page for information about payment, cancellations and substitutions.

To receive your certification, you must pass an IICRC examination. If you intend to complete the exam, you must complete a separate exam registration process, which will be provided after registering for the course. Exams for onsite in-person courses are generally held in the classroom after lunch on the final day of the course. Exams for online livestream courses have different arrangements.

Coach8 course registration fees do NOT include IICRC exam registration fees. Exam fees are paid directly to the IICRC separately. The IICRC exam fee for this course is currently $80 USD, but you can check the IICRC website to ensure that fee is still correct.

Participating in an online livestream Coach8 course and completing an online IICRC examination requires some extra preparation. If you are planning to take an online livestream course with Coach8, please read the important information and requirements on our Livestream Courses page.
