Some things about the cert:The certificate is recognised in Singapore by a few of the relevant ministries.
The certificate is the same qualification as of from Red Cross.
The certificate is recognised internationally, bcos other countries also have St John mah!
The certificate is smaller in size from Basic First Aid, bcos it is more compact to put inside a wallet, which can be shown easily whenever required.
The certificate is valid for only 3 years, same as from Red Cross. Can extend by attending a refresher course before the expiry date.
From my understanding, St John and Red Cross is the only two (very recognised) organisations that issue First Aid Certificates. The reason for the inclusion of very recognised is bcos there are other corporate or non-corporate organisation providing certification, but then most people recognise mostly St John and Red Cross probably of their long history in such services. Just to mention, St John has a longer history ever since the First Crusade.
