CHALLENGES OR REVIEW COURSES

CPR/First Aid Challenge

$25 Pre-scheduled Times

$30 Special Appointment

Participants can Challenge any of the following classes: CPR for the Professional Rescuer; Adult CPR/AED; Infant & Child CPR; First Aid or any combination. The Challenge is designed for people who want to renew their CPR and/or First Aid certificates without taking a class again. If you feel that you know the material and the skills well enough to "test out," a Challenge could save you time and money. If you don’t hold a current certificate, you may still take a Challenge. Anyone who does not pass will be referred to the appropriate class. The person challenging is responsible for reviewing the appropriate workbook beforehand. Study the workbook from your previous class, or you may purchase a new one. Do not expect the instructor to coach or train. You will be expected to demonstrate all the skills and pass a written test with 80% or better to earn a new certificate. If you are currently certified, we recommend you take a Challenge a month to six weeks before your certificate expires. Each Challenge can range from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Note: if challenging CPR for the Professional Rescuer, please bring a resuscitation mask.
