It looks like GUE has completely reworked their training pipeline. CCR Fundamentals is now the prerequisite for CCR 1. In other words it looks like students no longer go from Tech 1 to CCR 1; there's a separate upgrade path from Tech 1 instead which also requires CCR-F. But those who want to get into tech diving can now go straight to the CCR pipeline without having to do a bunch of open-circuit trimix dives first, which was probably necessary given the current helium shortage.
One issue is that CCR-F and the CCR-T1 upgrade require "GUE Rescue Primer or equivalent from a recognized training agency". Is Tech 1 considered equivalent? I'll have to ask about that.
