First Aid/CPR/AED Program Instructor's Manual Errata Sheet

The First Aid/CPR/AED Program Errata Sheet identifies the critical revisions that relate to:

  • Ensuring that instructors are providing correct and consistent information; and
  • Providing directions for instructors who are preparing to teach.

Using the chart below, you can write the critical changes directly in your manual. If you prefer to substitute the replacement pages, you can open the attached file (in PDF format) and print the pages.

No additional changes will be made to the First Aid/CPR/AED Program Instructor's Manual. For more information, contact Customer Support and Program Administration at (703) 206-7120.

Note: In the chart below, the Print Run column identifies the print run in which the revision was made. For example, the Adult CPR/AED Answer Key was corrected in print run 2 (P2). Subsequent printings of the instructor's manual include the corrected answer key.
