Per https://www.studyguides.af.mil on 31 January 2025:
Airmen,
As part of the ongoing efforts to implement and comply with all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, a thorough review of all applicable curriculum is being conducted. As a result of this review, the Air Force Handbook 1 is being temporarily rescinded. We understand this decision may impact your ability to study for the annual and supplemental promotion cycles. We are diligently working to provide alternative study materials to support your professional development and career advancement and anticipate having these materials available to you by 15 Feb 2025. We will provide regular status updates and any potential effects on the testing cycle as soon as we are able. Thank you for your continued service and dedication to the Air Force.
While the AFH 1 is temporarily rescinded, we recommend continuing to study the 25E6/5. Once the Air Force announces the interim study materials, any updates we release will be free to those who have already purchased the 25E6/5 AFH 1 study guides.
Top 5 FAQs
- Can I get an upgrade to the newest AFH 1 study guides?
No. We do not offer a simple upgrade at a discounted cost.
Visit the Order Products page to find out more about our current AFH 1 study guides.
- Can I get a discount on the AFH 1 Suite app if I already purchased GOLD or Advisor Plus?
No. Since our apps are sold directly through Apple or Google Play we are unable to offer discounts.
Visit our Products page to learn more about AFH 1 Suite for Android and iOS.
- If I purchased an older AFH 1 study guide, will it automatically update to the new AFH 1 study guides?
No. Our AFH 1 study guides are released as new products with each release of The Airman Handbook. When the Air Force issues a new AFH 1, we take the time to reflect the changes made. Along with the new database and new ADTC information, we add custom innovations. For these reasons, we are unable to offer a simple free or discounted upgrade.

- Does my purchase of AFH 1 Advisor Plus, AFH 1 GOLD, or AFH 1 Bundle Up! include the SJT Guide for PFE?
No. The new SJT Guide for PFE is sold separately from our AFH 1 study products. Our new SJT Guide for PFE posits a real-life situation and asks you to select either the most or least effective responses from a selection of four possibilities. Detailed rationales provide concise explanations of the most or least effective actions to take in each situation.
