Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) means TIME ON THE CHEST.
It asks one simple question:
👉 How much of the entire code are compressions actually happening?

If a code lasts 10 minutes and compressions happen for 8 minutes, the CCF is 80%.

The American Heart Association wants at least 80%, and high-performing resuscitation teams are already pushing closer to 90% by cutting unnecessary pauses.

That’s why high-quality CPR is a team sport:
• The compressor keeps hands on the chest
• The CPR coach uses feedback to guide depth, rate, recoil, and says “I’m charging — don’t stop”
• The team leader conducts the code and keeps everyone working together
• The recorder tracks time and exposes where hands come off the chest

More time on the chest = more blood flow.
More blood flow = better brain outcomes.

HeartCode Hybrid Explained: Blended Learning for BLS Certification

In today’s healthcare environment, maintaining Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is essential for clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals alike. (AHA) HeartCode BLS program offers a hybrid learning model that combines online education with in-person skills validation. Central Valley Medical Education (CVME) delivers this blended learning experience throughout the Central Valley using scheduled hybrid skills sessions in Fresno and Madera.

This guide explains how HeartCode BLS works and how to complete certification through CVME.

What Is HeartCode BLS?

HeartCode BLS is the AHA’s blended learning format for BLS certification. It combines an online cognitive course completed at the learner’s pace with a required hands-on skills session completed in person.

CVME offers HeartCode BLS skills validation as part of its Central Valley hybrid training model. You can learn more about the BLS HeartCode option here:
👉 https://morethancpr.com/bls-heart-code-central-valley/

This hybrid approach supports flexibility while maintaining compliance with current AHA standards.

Benefits of the Blended Learning Approach

Flexible Scheduling
The online portion allows learners to complete coursework before attending an in-person session, making it easier to manage work and personal responsibilities.

Personalized Online Learning
The HeartCode platform adapts to learner performance and confidence, helping reinforce key BLS concepts before skills testing.

Standardized Instruction
All cognitive content is developed by the AHA, ensuring consistency across learners.

Hands-On Skill Validation
In-person sessions confirm that learners can safely and correctly perform life-saving skills.

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing HeartCode BLS Through CVME

Step 1: Enroll in a CVME HeartCode BLS Course

To begin, register for a HeartCode BLS course through Central Valley Medical Education. Course details and registration are available here:
👉 https://morethancpr.com/bls-heart-code-central-valley/

Once enrolled, you will receive access to the AHA HeartCode BLS online course.

Step 2: Complete the Online Cognitive Portion

The online portion is self-paced and typically takes 1–2 hours. Topics include:

• High-quality CPR
• AED use
• Adult, child, and infant resuscitation
• Team dynamics

After completing the online course, you will receive a HeartCode completion certificate, which is required to attend the hands-on skills session.

Step 3: Schedule and Attend the Hands-On Skills Session

After completing the online portion, schedule your in-person skills session through one of CVME’s hybrid course calendars:

• Fresno Hybrid Skills Calendar:
👉 https://morethancpr.com/hybrid-course-calendar-fresno/

• Madera Hybrid Skills Calendar:
👉 https://morethancpr.com/hybrid-course-calendar-madera/

During the skills session, learners practice and demonstrate required BLS skills under the guidance of AHA-trained instructors or using Voice Assisted Manikins (VAM), when applicable.

Step 4: Receive Your BLS Certification

Once skills validation is successfully completed:

• You will receive your AHA BLS Provider eCard
• Certification is valid for two years

Time Commitment

• Online Portion: Approximately 1–2 hours
• In-Person Skills Session: Typically 60–120 minutes, depending on experience and class size

HeartCode Options Beyond BLS

CVME also offers HeartCode hybrid options for advanced certifications:

• ACLS HeartCode – Central Valley:
👉 https://morethancpr.com/acls-heart-code-central-valley-2025/

• PALS HeartCode – Central Valley:
