There is no denying the importance of first aid because accidents can happen even in the safest of environments. First aid knowledge can make a profound difference in compromised situations, and is a valuable skill for individuals and communities to have.

Over the years, Singapore Red Cross has continued to champion first aid training. As the country's leading first aid training provider, Singapore Red Cross endeavours to equip more people with basic first aid knowledge to empower individuals to save lives.

Working towards the national goal of having a first aider in every home, the Singapore Red Cross Academy has developed a series of first aid courses to cater to all ages and varied needs. With the Academy's myriad health and life support courses, individuals can be better prepared to take effective and immediate actions.
