Challenge Days 

Instead of taking the full class, take part in a CPR challenge! This 20–40 minute (time depends on desired certifications) session requires registration and payment in advance. Drop in during select hours on October 21st-24th to renew your existing CPR certification. No review will 

be provided; you will be given a scenario and show your skills! Successfully completing your challenge will recertify your certification(s) for another two years. Valid and current certification is required; cost ranges from $40-$55 and is based on desired certifications. Online review 

information will be sent prior to the challenge days to review on your own. Those who do not complete the online review information will also be required to take a written exam. Those without existing certifications or those who have never been certified are not eligible for Challenge Days.
