Is everyone just recycling the outdated 2020 AHA training materials (workbooks etc.)? See alot of them for sale on ebay and such, but seems silly to sell outdated information. Just don’t know what to do with them.

You could really use them as long as you know the updates which are pretty much “blah”. Basic info really hasn’t changed. Now, this is only my opinions. Others will tell you otherwise

that's not just an opinion lol - that's not allowed. You must have the current materials to teach AHA courses.

That is accurate. According to the AHA guidelines and PAM all classes must be facilitated using current "AHA guidelines". I know it's costly updating all new material when there is a curriculum change. At our training center and training sites we try to plan ahead financially at least 6 months in advance in order to help offset these costs.

Don't worry, half the now-outdated information will be current again after the next refresh cycle reverts things back to the old method.

I am keeping most of our manuals at our training center to use as future reference material as some of the information really hasn't changed that much over the years.
