Also, I will forward this information to all Regional Faculty for their information. But remember, you need to keep your regional faculty up to date. I have enclosed the memo in its entirety . For initial courses, new books are mandatory and have generally been available. For renewal courses, there has been some creative material distribution and copying.
Current materials are mandatory, and it is imperative the participants are using the correct book.
Copying of AHA materials is prohibited except for the skills sheets found in the instructor manuals. In addition, cards are a vitally important aspect of AHA training. I am getting more and more calls from people who were not issued cards and now cannot find instructors or records. Cards should be issued as part of every course. Also all instructors should have a current copy of the proper instructor manual.
