American Red Cross
First Aid/CPR/AED Challenge Course

Confident in your First Aid, CPR, and AED skills?

​

The Challenge Course gives you the chance to demonstrate your knowledge and hands-on abilities without taking a full training class.

​This course is designed for individuals who have prepared independently or who hold current American Red Cross (or equivalent) certifications. ​Participants will complete practical skill evaluations to show competency.

 

✅ If all skill objectives are met, certification is awarded.

 

❌ What if I do not successfully pass the challenge?

​

• Participants who hold a current certification may re-attempt the challenge course as often as the course is offered.

If time permits, you may re-attempt immediately.

​

• Participants without a current certification will need to enroll in and purchase the Blended Learning course.

​

Please note: This course is an evaluation, not a class—no instructional videos or lessons are included during the in-person course.

​

• We have provided you with videos below demonstrating the skills required to successfully complete the evaluation.

 

• You may also use any public resources to help you prepare.

​

HANDS-ON SKILLS TESTING ONLY. NO WRITTEN EXAM ADMINISTERED.
