CPR & AED training for Singapore workplaces

Half-day or full-day group bookings for offices, schools, retail floors and event teams. Equip your staff to act in the critical first minutes of a sudden cardiac arrest.

The minutes between a person collapsing and professional help arriving are the difference between survival and not. CPR and AED training equips your team to bridge that gap. We deliver workplace-focused sessions for staff who are not medical professionals but who happen to be the closest person when something goes wrong.

Who books this course

  • Offices that have installed an AED and want trained staff on each floor
  • Schools, childcare centres and tuition operators
  • Retail teams in malls, supermarkets and large stores
  • Hotels, F&B operators and event production teams
  • Sports clubs, gyms and fitness studios
  • Companies running corporate wellbeing initiatives that include emergency response

What the session covers

Content depth scales with the format you choose. Half-day sessions focus on the core bystander response. Full-day sessions add adjacent skills that pair naturally with cardiac response training.

Half-day (core)

  • Recognising a cardiac event and calling for help
  • Adult CPR with hands-on practice on training mannequins
  • AED use, pad placement, voice prompts and shock delivery
  • Handover to emergency services

Full-day (extended)

Everything in the half-day plus:

  • Choking response for adults and children
  • Recovery position and airway management
  • Common medical events: fainting, seizures, heat injury
  • Extended practice time and small-group skill drills

Note on certification

This course is for general workplace responders. Staff designated as appointed first aiders on the WSH register need the full two-day Occupational First Aid course to be formally certified for that role.

Need cover beyond training?

Training equips your team for the first minutes. For events, productions and worksites where you also need a trained responder physically on the ground, see event medical standby, on-site paramedic hire, and private ambulance services.

FAQs

CPR and AED questions HR teams ask

The Occupational First Aid course is the full two-day certification for appointed workplace first aiders, covering injuries as well as cardiac response. Standalone CPR and AED training is shorter and focused only on bystander cardiac response. The two often pair: a smaller group of OFA-certified first aiders for the formal regulatory role, with CPR and AED training extended to a wider pool so someone trained is closer to a casualty in the first minutes.
Time to defibrillation is the primary driver of survival in sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs nearby make that time short, but only if someone trained to use one is also nearby. If your office has an AED installed, training the people who work near it is the obvious next step.
There is no regulatory minimum for general CPR and AED training (the regulated ratio applies only to appointed Occupational First Aiders). The aim is simpler: any sudden cardiac arrest victim should have a trained responder within reach inside the first critical minutes. We can advise on the right number for your office layout and shift pattern when you tell us the headcount.
A half day is enough to cover bystander CPR and AED use for general staff who simply need to know what to do until medical help arrives. A full day adds choking response, recovery position, basic airway management and more practice time. The half day works for most general-staff cohorts. Full day suits floor wardens and designated responders who need broader skills.
Yes. Participants receive a certificate of attendance for CPR and AED training. This is separate from the formal Occupational First Aid certification (which requires the full two-day OFA course) and serves as evidence for HR records and audit trails.
For practical reasons each cohort is capped so participants get adequate hands-on time on the mannequins and AED trainers. Larger headcounts are split across multiple sessions, which can run on consecutive half-days to minimise disruption to operations.
