Who is the South African School of First Aid Education?
We know, it’s a lot, rather call us SASFAE…
The South African School of First Aid Education (Pty) Ltd. (SASFAE) is an organisation dedicated to the provision of Professional Accredited First Aid Education and Training. As such, it is staffed by qualified educators, advanced life support paramedics and registered First Aid and CPR instructors.
Due to the lack of medically trained teachers and learners within the schooling environment, SASFAE was established to train school staff and learners in First Aid and CPR according to the international best gold standards and best practices, and has been teaching First Aid, CPR and related courses since 1994.
SASFAE is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, Reg No. CI92/3/12/1 (old CI:069) and SAQA registered with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations 07-QCTO/SDP060324172737.
All courses, including CPR and AED courses are aligned with the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), The American Heart Association and the Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa.
We offer training in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Unfortunately we DO NOT offer Paramedic or Nursing courses.
What are our Aims?
- To provide appropriate First Aid Education to scholars, teachers, and aftercare personnel.
- To encourage industry to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (85 of 1993) and its amendments.
- To have at least one person in every household country-wide trained in First Aid and CPR.
- To ensure that students have the best educational experience possible to suit their needs.
- To ensure that suitably prepared, equipped and qualified First Aiders are present at all sporting and social events.
- To ensure that all our courses, training and medical procedures are taught to the highest standard, and aligned to the latest evidence-based medicine available.

We also intend to make use of technology to apply more effective methods of achieving its goals and objective.
Our Mission

The greater purpose of SASFAE is to create a better South Africa, starting with job creation, and moving to increase the knowledge and skills in existing workers. As workers progress, the focus will be on job satisfaction, ethical practices, and efficient working. Career development will be an ever-present goal and career guidance will be widely available to staff and clients through training and consulting.
Furthermore, we will exist in a country that has political instability that drives away foreign investment. the company aims to counteract the damage by “starting at home”. This means that good ethical behaviour can create a ripple effect of improvement by encouraging unity between existing demographics, cultivating high moral standards, and directing individuals to take ownership of, and responsibility for shortcomings while also sharing praise where success is achieved through interdependence.
