Challenge Courses
The purpose of a challenge course is to give individuals the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skill competency outside a formal class setting. Participants have sole responsibility to prepare for the knowledge and skill evaluations. Anyone is eligible to participate in a challenge course.
Individuals who do not possess a current American Red Cross Universal Certificate indicating the course they wish to challenge may participate in that course once. If they do not pass the challenge course, they are required to take the full course in that field. They are not permitted to attempt a challenge course again.
Individuals who hold a current American Red Cross Universal Certificate indicating the course they wish to challenge may do so as often as the challenge courses are available, as long as their certificates remain valid. Students must be able to validate current certification before being allowed to enroll in a challenge course more than one time. Please bring proof of current certification with you to class to show your instructor. If your card has been misplaced, contact your American Red Cross chapter where you received your certificates and ask for proof of this.
There is no teaching, prompting or reviewing of skills by the instructor in this course.
