The following documents contain just those pages that were affected by the R0108 revisions and corrections. These pages can be printed and inserted into copies of the initial April 2007 student manual. Refer to the “CPS Certification Curriculum R01/08: Edits/Corrections Made to Student Manuals” document for a list of changes that were made to the student manual.

Note: Printing the replacement pages is voluntary. Since there were no major changes to the technical content in the R0108 manuals, the "old" April 2007 manuals are fine to use.
