FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your courses accredited and recognised?
Yes. Selected courses are accredited by the Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC), including Standard First Aid, Child First Aid, BCLS + AED, BCLS + AED Instructor Training, and HeartSaver CPR + AED. Our Occupational First Aid Course is recognised by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). You’ll receive an official certificate upon successful completion of the training course.
Can I use SkillsFuture Credit or apply for the SSG Training Grant?
Yes, most of our programmes are eligible for SkillsFuture Credit and the SSG Training Grant. You can use your SkillsFuture balance to offset course fees. Our team will assist you with the necessary claim submission and guide you through the process if needed.
How do I register for a course?
What if I need to reschedule or cancel my course?
We understand that unexpected changes happen. If you need to reschedule, please contact us at least 5 working days before your course date. Cancellations and rescheduling are subject to availability and our training centre policies, which will be shared upon registration.
What’s the difference between Standard First Aid and Occupational First Aid courses?
Standard First Aid is designed for the general public and equips participants with essential first aid skills for common emergencies such as CPR, bleeding, and fractures. In contrast, Occupational First Aid is tailored for workplace settings, focusing on industrial-related injuries and emergency response in compliance with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) requirements. While both courses cover life-saving techniques, Occupational First Aid includes additional workplace-specific modules and is mandatory for designated workplace first aiders.
How are the Child First Aid courses conducted?
Both the Child First Aid and Child First Aid Refresher courses are conducted in a blended learning format. The theory component for both the courses is completed online via Zoom in one day for the Child First Aid course and half a day for the Refresher course. This is followed by 1.5 days of in-person training for both the courses
How long is my certification valid for?
All certifications are valid for two years. After that, you will need to attend a refresher course to renew your certification. We will send you reminders closer to your certificate expiry to ensure that your certificate does not lapse.
What should I bring on training days?
Please bring along a notepad and stationary for note taking and wear comfortable clothing suitable for practical exercises. Ladies are advised to wear long pants. Do ensure you have your Singpass ready for e-attendance, as scanning the QR code is mandatory according to SSG requirements.
Do you provide corporate or on-site training for companies?
Yes, we specialise in corporate training solutions for companies across Singapore. We can arrange on-site training at your premises or reserve exclusive slots at our training centre. Group rates and custom scheduling options are available for corporate clients. You can email us at cs@emergencies.com.sg for enquiries or requests with regards to this.
Who are your instructors?
What is Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS), and how is it different from Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)?
BCLS stands for Basic Cardiac Life Support – it covers both adult and infant CPR, as well as choking and the use of BVM (Bag Valve Mask) to assist ventilation. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a part of BCLS, where it focuses on adult and hands-only CPR.
What is an AED, and will I learn how to use it?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device used to help restart the heart during sudden cardiac arrest. It analyses heart rhythms and, if needed, delivers a controlled electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. All our courses include hands-on AED training. You’ll learn how to operate it safely, when to use it, and what precautions to take — so you can respond confidently in real emergencies.
