The National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC) believes in developing and empowering our youths to be active and concerned citizens with life-saving skills. There is a great focus to develop greater awareness of civil defence in our cadets and prepare them with the skills to respond effectively to emergencies at home and abroad. The attitude of readiness against adversity and practical skills that are critical in the face of danger and emergencies are life-long capabilities that our cadets can acquire.

Cadets learn Triangle Of Life skills, which include basic firefighting, first aid, CPR and AED. These are core skills in NCDCC, which enable cadets to help themselves and others in times of need. Equipping cadets with these skills will help to form their identity as NCDCC cadets, community responders at heart.
