We recently made some minor changes to the 7^th edition course slides and have uploaded new files to the website. If you previously opened a slide module and now it won’t open, then the first step is to clear your cache because your browser may be looking for an older version. The process to clear your cache varies by browser type (Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome) so search for instructions as needed.

• If using Google Chrome, these steps worked for us: Go to the 3 small dots in the upper right, then select Delete browsing data. Change the Time range to: All time. Then, place a checkmark on “cached images and files.” If you don’t want to delete your Browsing history, uncheck that item.
• Restart your computer, then login to the Instructor Portal. Try opening the slide module(s) again.

If you still can’t open one or more modules after clearing your cache, then please provide a detailed summary of the steps you took and the problem you encountered so we can help. Use the Contact Us form on the website to send us an email.

Hello Instructors,

Periodically we need to exchange test questions and this is usually because of valuable feedback from our Instructors. Therefore, when preparing for your Learner course, please check Communications for notifications that a test was replaced.

The following 7^th edition tests were replaced on October 4, 2024.

Pretest A was replaced because of changes to questions 2, 16, and 21.

Sugar Module

Post Test B – changed questions 3 and 4

Post Test C – changed question 3 to spell out “room air” instead of “RA”

Post Test C – changed question 2

Temperature Module

Post Test A – changed questions 4 and 7

Airway Module

Post Test D – changed question 4

These test exchanges do not affect any of the answer keys.  If you have printed any of these tests before October 4, please discard those tests and use the new ones.

Thank you,

Dear Instructors,

We have received questions about whether you can still teach the 6^th edition once you have completed the Bridge to the 7^th edition training and the answer is YES.  Here is a summary of a few important items pertaining to the Bridge training and teaching the 6^th edition:

• Please be sure to enter your S.T.A.B.L.E. Instructor number when signing up for the Bridge training.  This will expedite your access to the 7^th edition material.
• You will still have access to the 6^th edition material after you complete the Bridge training.  You will have access to the 6^th edition material and may teach 6^th edition courses until March 31, 2025. On April 1, 2025, all access to the 6^th edition material will be disabled.  You will still be able to submit rosters for courses taught prior to April 1, through June 30, 2025.
• The new S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations module IS included as the first part of the Bridge training. If you take Foundations outside of the Bridge training, you will need to repeat Foundations again when you take the Bridge training.

Please follow the link below to purchase the Bridge training from our online partner, HealthStream.

Allow 24 hours after you complete the Bridge (if you have entered your S.T.A.B.L.E. Instructor number) to receive a reply email from S.T.A.B.L.E. that you now have access to the 7th edition curriculum.

S.T.A.B.L.E. Program Bridge to the 7th Ed. Training for Instructors (includes Foundations)

Thank you for your support of The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program and for sharing your knowledge with others.

Dear Instructors,

Information about the Bridge to the 7th Edition Training 

The Bridge to the 7th Edition training will orient registered Instructors to the new S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations requirement for your classroom attendees as well as introduce you to changes in the 7th edition curriculum and testing process.

The course fee is $199 per person. Once you complete the Bridge training, we will activate your access to your Instructor Portal for the 7th Edition which will contain the new 7th edition course slides, tests, and resource center. In most cases, you will have access to S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations for 2 years once you start the Bridge training. If your facility purchases a license for the Bridge training for you and you leave that Facility, you will lose the ability to login to Foundations. If you purchase the Bridge training on your own, then you will continue to have access to S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations for 2 years from when you started the training.

Note: The new S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations module IS included as the first part of the Bridge training. If you take Foundations outside of the Bridge training, you will need to repeat Foundations again when you take the Bridge training.

Rules for Learner Course Roster Submission

• Only instructors who have completed the Bridge to the 7th edition training or who have attended an instructor course in 2024 or later can be added to a 7th edition course roster.
• All students who attend an instructor-led class must complete S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations prior to the Learner course. Visit our shop at stableprogram.org to find links to send to your students to purchase Foundations or reach out to a HealthStream rep for a license quote.
• A Foundations course completion number must be entered when you submit the student roster. The student will need to provide the completion number, which is located on their S.T.A.B.L.E. Foundations completion card.  The student will have access to the CEU certificate and the STABLE Foundations completion card. The completion card will have the number on it.
• All students must have the 7th edition Learner Manual for use during the course. Please take this opportunity to purchase manuals for your students. Books may be purchased from S.T.A.B.L.E., the American Academy of Pediatrics, or Amazon. An eBook is not currently available. Students must pass the end of module tests with a score of 80% or higher.

Secondary Email Address: The next time you login to the Instructor portal, take note that a Secondary Email box has been added to your Account information. Please take the time to add a second email address. Providing a secondary email address will increase the likelihood that our communications will reach you. S.T.A.B.L.E. does not provide our Instructor’s emails to any outside source.

Instructor Manual: An Instructor Manual is in development and will be available for purchase in the late fall or early winter. When the manual is ready for purchase, registered Instructors will find more information by logging into the Instructor Portal.

Thank you for your patience as we transition to the new 7th Edition.

Hello Instructors,

Periodically we will need to change test questions. Therefore, when preparing for your Learner course, please check Communications for notifications that a test has been replaced.

7^th Edition Pretest C was replaced because there was a duplicate question on questions 10 and 12. Pretest C was replaced on September 15, 2024. This test exchange did NOT affect the Pretest C answer key. If you have printed this test before this date, please discard Pretest C and use the new one that is posted on our website.

Thank you,
