The content between the two courses is essentially the same (taught from a different perspective). Some high schools may have a pathway with another physics course as a pre-req, and the teacher may teach assuming certain things were covered in a previous course, but it certainly isn’t required. RM offers AP Physics C as a first time physics course, and only a few previously took Honors or AP1.

College Board does not recommend that approach even if RM does it. AP Physics C is meant to be taken after at least Honors Physics or AP Physics 1

There is a lot to be said for kids learning things conceptually before they learn them mathematically.
