The purpose of a challenge is to give an individual the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skill competencies out side a full classroom setting. It is the responsibility of the participant to prepare for the challenge, as there is no review. Each participant will take the appropriate written test and then demonstrate water and/or land skills. Participants must also bring their own CPR face mask, or purchase a mask at the beginning of the challenge for $15 when participating in the CPR challenge.
CHALLENGES ARE NOT SCHEDULED BUT ARE HELD ON AN AS-NEEDED BASIS.
