Key exam facts

Provider

The Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC) sets the national standard and accredits training centres. Accredited training centres deliver and invigilate the SFA theory assessment; SRFAC is not a booking vendor.

Format

In-person, closed-book, timed written theory assessment invigilated by a Chief Instructor and/or Instructor; paper or controlled electronic delivery is possible. SERA publishes a multiple-choice implementation. This bank covers only knowledge, including CPR(Hands-Only)+AED; practical tests are separate and are also required for full provider certification.

Time limit

The SFA syllabus allows 30 minutes for the theory assessment, distinct from training and the 210-minute practical assessment block. The 10 December 2025 integrity reminder describes timed theory assessment at approximately 1 minute per question; the actual duration must be communicated before assessment.

Passing score

SRFAC recommends 80% correct answers for the theory test. SERA applies 24/30 in its 30-MCQ implementation. Passing the theory test alone does not complete provider certification.

Exam fee

Fees depend on the delivering centre and package. Published example: SERA full classroom SFA course and assessments cost SGD 169.00 before GST / SGD 184.21 including GST, before funding. Funding eligibility and final prices are conditional and subject to change. That page does not quote a separate theory-only examination fee; the listed amount is a combined course price, not a national theory-only tariff.
