Greetings,
Go to the cprweek.org and see enter your zip code to see how well your
area did during the month of June. Wyoming ROCKED thanks to all of you.
We also contributed numbers in Montana, California, Idaho, Utah and
Colorado too.
When you renew your Instructor status this will be required prior to
receiving your Instructor Card. ahainstructornetwork.org
***NEW*** Technology is changing the way students can find a
class. Go to the American Heart Association Class Locator and they
can find you to schedule a class or sign up for one you have already
scheduled. If you can't find you on this new technology it means I
have not entered you yet. It is time consuming for us to get the data
in there, but well worth it once it is available to the public. ***NEW***
Inquire about the Challenge ACLS Course
***NEW*** Healthcare Provider, Heartsaver and ACLS programs
ONLINE Students Schedule an appointment for skills checkoff Let TC
Coordinator know if you want to be referred for this service
***NEW*** Paperwork is posted with new logo If you have
problems printing them let us know
***NEW*** In order for Training Centers to show they are ensuring
quality of all AHA programs Training Site Reviews have been
designed to meet this new requirement of AHA. They will need to
be performed every two years prior to a Training Site Agreement
renewal. A Training Center Faculty or Regional Faculty are the only
designated individuals who can perform this type of review. If you
have not set up a time for your Training Site Review or you do not
know who to contact in your area please contact our office for more
information.
Here are some items on the Checklist during a Training Site Review

Is the equipment decontamination process followed?
Is there a secure area for exams?
Process for tracking student numbers per class followed?
Is training equipment in good working condition?
***Reminders***
Please forward your training schedules to us so we can post on the
website and communicate to your community when you will be
having classes.
Reminder to get your rosters sent to the TC within 30 days of
course. Let students know when to expect their cards.
If you are waiting to be paid for the course let them know the delay
time in advance so the TC Coordinator does NOT receive inquiries
as to where their cards are when they have not been sent to the TC
for distribution.
Secure and Non-Training Sites ONLY:

you handwrite a card you will replace it for $6.00 and no longer be
allowed to have the Secure and Non-Secure Training Site Status.

***Have you registered on the AHA Instructor Network?
American Heart Association would like to communicate to all
instructors through electronic communication and post this
information for potential students. Go to the website and get
registered as we need you to know what is happening.
***Please notify the TC Coordinator if you have an email address or if
it has changed so it can be forwarded to AHA. You will receive an
email from AHA asking you if you wish to participate in this type of
communication. It is your choice to receive communication from
AHA. The eventual goal is for potential students being able to
access instructors contact information and teaching locations.

Regional Faculty to participate in this vital team. If you are
interesting in joining this group in defining issues and developing
solutions concerning AHA programs in Wyoming please contact
