Accelerated HeartCode BLS Competency Agenda recognizes that many students who complete the online portion of HeartCode BLS blended learning come to the skills performance session with some level of competency. The American Heart Association has created an accelerated agenda for students who believe they can demonstrate mastery of the skills associated with high-quality CPR. This competency-focused agenda is called the Accelerated HeartCode BLS Competency Agenda; it allows a learner to demonstrate competency and thus potentially shorten the time required to complete the instructor-led hands-on portion of HeartCode BLS.
