– In-Service Classes for anyone other than Emergency Services/Response are now only held at the Division and no longer on site.
– We no longer loan out DSFS equipment and we do not sell AHA workbooks. Workbooks are available to any AHA instructors through the AHA ShopCPR Online Store, using your AHA Instructor Network log in. Being the sole source distributor, the AHA normally deliver in 3-5 days.
– We are also no longer supplying pocket masks with every class. They will be supplied in EMR classes or by special request at $10 per student. Blue training valves available at the divisions are to be used with BVM masks during skills.

“Everyone, I am trying to find out what changes this does to us.
They have already replaced the 2015 materials with 2020 at a higher cost. I am trying to get caught up myself.
Unfortunately, AHA has a history of hiding information until trying to release it at a higher cost, and not even the Training Center coordinators get a heads up to prepare. I hope to be able to answer all of your questions next week.”
