What is the American Red Cross Challenge Course?

"The purpose of a challenge course is to provide participants the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skill competency outside of a formal class setting. Participants have sole responsibility to prepare for the knowledge and skill evaluations. Anyone is eligible to participate in a challenge. Participants who do not pass the challenge course should be referred to a full course. Participants who hold current American Red Cross certificates may challenge as often as the courses are available and their certificates remain valid. Participants must demonstrate appropriate skills/scenarios for the courses challenge. No video segments are shown except for an introduction on how scenarios are conducted." (From the American Red Cross Challenge Course Instructor Manual)

Depending on the Course Variation you have selected, you will study the necessary sequences based on the American Red Cross Assessment Scenario Checklist.
