Mein Name ist Jan und bin Outdoorenthusiast. Ich bin mit The Improvising Medic (Max) in Kontakt getreten, um bei medizinischen Notfällen in der Natur aber auch im Alltag besser gewappnet zu sein. Der Lehrgang umfasste 2 Calls und 2 Präsenztermine. Max ging sämtliche verabredete Themen durch und holte mich stets auf meinem Wissenstand ab. Die pragmatische Herangehensweise lieferte mir sehr guten und hilfreichen Input. Besonders gefallen, haben mir die zahlreichen kleinen Hinweise und Tipps zum Thema Improvisation. Die Drills waren für mich persönlich das Highlight. Diese waren ausschlaggebend für das Handling am Patienten in geringerer Zeit. Ich hoffe, ich werde das alles nie anwenden müssen, aber wenn doch, werde ich dank des intensiven Trainings mit Max sicherer mit der Situation umgehen.

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 dont 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 ist ein engagierter Ausbilder mit viel Fachwissen. Seine direkte und freundliche Art hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Ich habe viel von ihm gelernt und konnte/musste das ein oder andere schon praktisch anwenden. Danke dafür und der Mann und die Ausbildung von ihm ist zu empfehlen.

Ich durfte mit Max schon im behördlichen Umfeld Fortbildungen genießen und das setzte sich auch nach der Behördenzeit fort. Was ihn absolut qualifiziert ist seine unkonventionelle Art die Dinge in der Ausbildung verständlich zu vermitteln und mit vielen Hacks und Ratschlägen für eine ordentliche Lernkurve in kürzester Zeit zu sorgen.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

It was an honor to share some workexperience 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 gamechanger when it comes to time factors, simplicity and self confidence

„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 servicemember or medical personal! Hope to see you soon keep always improvising big man 💪🏼

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 organization 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.
John*

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.

Ich kenne Max jetzt schon über 6 Jahre und habe ihn in unterschiedlichen Szenarien als Ausbilder erlebt. Unabhängig davon, dass er menschlich einfach völlig unkompliziert und absolut zuverlässig ist hat er ein krasses Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Max kann durch seinen breiten beruflichen Background sowohl die behördliche taktische Medizin bedienen als auch auch den zivilen Rettungsdienst. So schlägt er einfach eine Brücke, die vielen nicht gelingt. Er erkennt schnell bei wem er wo ansetzen muss und ist daher zielgruppenabhängig sehr flexibel in seiner Art auszubilden.
Max ist offen und direkt aber dabei immer herzlich. Wer die Chance verpasst von ihm zu lernen ist selber schuld 😉

Ich habe Max bei meinem ersten Cric Training kennengelernt und seitdem begleitet er mich durch meine Medic Laufbahn.
Ein Profi, mit herausragendem KnowHow. Für uns SE MEDICs eine absolute Bereicherung.

In der kurzen Zeit in der ich in den Genuss kam von Max zu lernen, merkte man seinen direkten, realitätsnahen Ansatz. Kein Hick Hack sondern Erfahrungswerte verknüpft mit Anleitungen, die sowohl verständlich als auch einfach umzusetzen sind; ich konnte auch nach 10 Jahren Rettungsdienst selbst in der Basis der Patientenversorgung noch viel dazu lernen. Jederzeit wieder. Volle Empfehlung.

Ich wollte mein minimales Grundwissen der Erstehilfe, für meine spezielle Verwendung bei der Polizei, vertiefen. Nach einem kurzen Erstgespräch hatte Max umgehend eine Idee was ich brauche und er konnte mich für meinen Bereich / Tätigkeit perfekt weiterbilden. Seine praktischen Erfahrungen, medizinische Wissen und seine Lehrfähigkeit, haben einen hohen Mehrwert und motivieren auf mehr Input! Max ist ein entspannter, cooler und humorvoller Typ, der mit viel Herzblut sein Handwerk vermittelt. Klare Empfehlung von mir und auf bald Max! Beste Grüße, 😎✌🏻

Wir haben einen individuellen Kurs für Unfälle auf der Schießbahn gebucht (3 Personen). Max hat uns und unsere Inhalte nicht versucht in ein Schema zu drücken, sondern den Kurs an das angepasst, was uns auch wirklich passieren könnte. Daher war das Training sehr effektiv und hat uns enorm viel Handlungssicherheit gebracht. Definitive Empfehlung, vor allem für individuelle Themen und Kleingruppen.

Unser Hundesport Team fand das Seminar über die Notfallversorgung am Hund in akuten Fällen sehr interessant und lehrreich. Wir konnten viel für uns mitnehmen und fühlen uns nun sicherer darin, auch in schlimmen Situationen, den Hund betreffend, zu agieren. Wir würden das Seminar jedem Hundehalter ans Herz legen. Max hat die Thematik sehr gut und verständlich, sowohl theoretisch als auch praktisch vermittelt.
