Course Overview
This course is accredited by the Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC) and recognised by the National Registry of Coaches (NROC) under Sport Singapore. It is a prerequisite for all sports coaches and exercise professionals in Singapore to attain or renew their coaching licence under SportSG. The course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to identify, manage and respond to medical emergencies and injuries that may arise in sporting, fitness, school, home or public settings.
The programme covers basic principles and practice of first aid, breathing difficulties, management of wounds and bleeding, managing unconscious casualties, managing fractures and transportation of casualties, management of burn wounds, bites and stings, and the blood circulatory system including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Participants will also receive hands on training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and AED use for adult victims. The course concludes with revision and assessment comprising both theoretical examination and practical evaluation including CPR, AED and bandaging of wounds, as stipulated by SRFAC.
Standard First Aid, CPR and AED courses are not awarded Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours as these are considered a standard requirement for coaches.
