Many of you may have already heard from fellow instructors or seen posts online, but we’re excited to confirm that the 2025 American Heart Association (AHA) CPR Guidelines and updated course materials will be released on October 22, 2025!
These updates represent the latest progress in resuscitation science—refinements designed to make CPR training even more effective and relevant.
While the heart of CPR training stays the same, you’ll notice a few key areas with added focus and clarification. The goal? To make learning clearer, performance stronger, and ultimately, to help save more lives through higher-quality CPR.
Once the new materials are out, instructors will have 90 days to complete their Instructor Update Training. Please note that older materials can’t be used after March 1, 2026.
MCR Medical is here to make sure you’re ready for the update and keep you informed on the new changes that are released—count on us for the tools and support you need.
