What is a Challenge?
CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer
The challenge offers you the opportunity to update your CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer certification without completing the course. It is intended as an opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills and be evaluated. It is NOT an instructor-led practice or coaching session. All responsibility for preparedness rests with you!
You will first be required to take the written exam. Only one chance is given and you must score an 80% or higher on each section. If you do not, you will not proceed to the practical exam. The following is a list of practical skill requirements for the CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer challenge:
If you should fail the challenge for any reason, but still possess a current certification, you may enroll in another challenge at a later date. If your certification has expired, you will have to take the full course.
