It's no secret that the 5-hr CPC exam is no picnic. With an exam this intensive, preparation is key. Time management skills are also an important factor because many test-takers seem to run out of time before they are able to complete all sections.


If you have been in medical coding for at least a couple of years and are ready to take this next step in your career, make sure you gain the confidence required to pass your CPC® exam, as well as the time management skills needed to get through the full exam. How? By receiving the best preparation available from AAPC certified instructors at Coding Cert's 3-Day CPC Training Camps!


In just 3 days, your instructor will deliver everything you need to pass the CPC® exam. You'll cover what the test expects you to know, what format you can expect, and what you can skip. Every day, you'll tackle and review practice questions so that you're prepared for the real thing.
