What happened to the VATUSA training site?
« on: August 22, 2016, 12:07:25 AM »
What happened to the VATUSA training site?  It was there just the other day, but when I offed in today to reference some material, it was gone.  Page not found...

As outdated as a lot of that stuff was, it sure is helpful to students.

Thanks,

It has been retired with the old site.  The software was untouched since 2008 and highly insecure but because of modifications to its code by people long gone, it was not updatable, either.  I'm am single-handedly trying to recreate the data in CBT format, but it is a slow process.  This is the perfect opportunity to learn the .65 and how to navigate it. ;)

Hello All,

As many of you are probably aware, the old training resources went away with the new site. Fortunately I was able to salvage all of it on the waybackmachine (internet archive). I would have attached PDF with all the material but its too big. So, if you go to the following link to view it in browser.

Great work Aaron!
FYI, those who have adobe acrobat, and/or Windows 10, can print the page Aaron linked above to PDF straight from the browser.
Right click anywhere on the page, click Print, and choose Save as PDF.
This will be quicker than having to wait for Aaron to send it about to people!

The legacy VATUSA Training Material can now be found under MyVATUSA under CBT. (https://www.vatusa.net/cbt)

Thank you to Aaron for locating and saving the legacy material for us.
