I know that this course was discussed during the recent Sophia sale. It was listed as expired at that time within the ACE database. Someone on this site mentioned that a Sophia representative had commented that a renewal of the ACE recommendation was on the way. I just checked and it has now been updated through 2022. I don't notice any change in the actual recommendation:
