"... I am kicking myself for paying out so much money on my Los Angeles AAPC course , when actually yours is more informative and better laid out."
K Taglianetti
"The online course is comprehensive and very well organized. The links to online reference sources and study materials is a great help. I'm confident that I will be more than ready to pass the certification exam!" N. Flower "The online course is just what I needed with my busy schedule. It allows me to study any time day or night when my schedule allows and at my own pace. I am also very pleased with the interaction I receive from the Help-line and quickness of responses with the answers to my questions." L. Schoenwetter "I just wanted to let you know that I passed the recent CCS exam in June and wanted to give credit where it is due. Your coding quizzes were very helpful in helping me pass the exam. This was the most difficult exam I have ever taken ... I hope to be able to code at home now. Thank you so much for your help. I will certainly tell others about your company.
