Standard First Aid Course FAQs
Who should attend Standard First Aid training?
Standard First Aid is suitable for sports coaches, fitness instructors, personal trainers and others who need first aid, CPR and AED skills for their work or activities.
Is SERA’s Standard First Aid course accredited by SRFAC?
SERA’s course page lists its Standard First Aid certification as accredited by the Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC). You can check current training-centre accreditation and validity in the SRFAC training-centre directory, selecting the SFA category.
Is Standard First Aid required for NROC coach registration?
Sport Singapore states that National Registry of Coaches (NROC) coaches must hold Standard First Aid certification including CPR and AED. See Sport Singapore’s NROC guidance and CoachSG’s registration information for the full requirements. First aid certification alone does not confer NROC registration.
Is Standard First Aid relevant to fitness instructors and personal trainers?
Yes. Sport Singapore’s National Registry of Exercise Professionals (NREP) is relevant to fitness and exercise professionals. Its published requirements include valid Standard First Aid with CPR and AED, alongside other professional requirements. Refer to the official NREP guidance for exercise professionals to check what applies to your practice.
Does Standard First Aid include CPR and AED training?
Yes. CPR and AED are included in Standard First Aid. SRFAC’s public information identifies CPR and AED as integral components of SFA; a standalone CPR+AED certificate should not be assumed to replace an SFA requirement.
What is the learning format for SERA’s Standard First Aid course?
SERA lists a blended programme with approximately six hours of online learning and ten contact hours of onsite practical training and theory assessment. Confirm the selected session’s timetable and complete the required learning and assessments.
How long is SERA’s Standard First Aid certificate valid?
SERA lists its Standard First Aid certification as valid for two years from completion. Keep your certificate current and check the applicable NROC, NREP or employer requirements before renewing your registration.
