Built on real emergency experience
SAEMT is more than a training company. It is a family-led legacy built from decades of frontline emergency care, practical first aid teaching, and a mission to help ordinary people act with confidence when every second matters.
From ambulance service to life-saving education
SAEMT’s story begins with Steve and Sharon Alderson, whose work in emergency medical care started on the frontlines. In East London, they built Alderson Ambulance Service into a respected private emergency response service known for compassion, professionalism, and a strong commitment to the community.
As the years went on, first aid training became a natural extension of that mission. By combining real-world emergency experience with accredited teaching, they helped schools, workplaces, and community groups learn how to respond more effectively in critical situations.
In 2013, the family opened a new chapter in Nelspruit and launched SAEMT with a clear purpose: deliver practical, engaging, high-quality emergency medical training that gives people the skills and confidence to act when it matters most.
Our mission
We believe life-saving training should be practical, relevant, and empowering. SAEMT exists to equip as many people as possible with the confidence and competence to respond effectively in an emergency.
Through affordable accredited training, SAEMT helps improve safety in workplaces, schools, families, and communities while keeping teaching aligned with real emergency care standards.
