Dear U.S. Training Network,
We are excited to share the preliminary release schedule of our new and updated
training tools and materials to follow the publishing of the 2015 AHA Guidelines for
CPR and ECC on October 15, 2015.
Our mission to save lives by increasing survival rates relies on you, the AHA
Training Network, continuing to train students between the release of updated
science guidelines and the launch of new educational tools and materials.
Healthcare professionals and employees with course completion cards must not
let their training lapse – so we must help you seamlessly incorporate new science
and training guidelines into your current AHA courses. Therefore, we will
immediately provide interim training tools in a variety of ways to meet your learning
and geographical needs, including in-person AHA Instructor updates, an online
update course and, for healthcare providers, an in-service course.
In 2016, you will see AHA CPR and ECC training materials updated to reflect the
changes published in the 2015 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. Preliminary
release dates are listed below and are subject to change at any time. Student and
Instructor materials will be released simultaneously, and each AHA disciplinespecific product line will introduce new printed and electronic course completion
cards. Tentatively, we estimate that Instructors will have 90 days from the release
of new course materials to begin implementing the new guidelines and issuing new
AHA course completion cards. Please know we are committed to providing you
crucial information about new tools and technologies that will help you deliver and
enhance lifesaving training. We will continue to provide updates to this schedule
as we get closer to the 2015 Guidelines release in October 2015.
Again, we thank you for joining us in driving the AHA mission to save lives through
CPR and ECC.
Sincerely,
John Meiners
Executive Vice President
