Flexible Medical Coding Training for Your Workforce

Support your employees in launching healthcare careers with an accredited program that prepares them for the full CPC credential. Penn Foster’s Medical Coding Professional Program offers flexible online training and comprehensive certification support.

  • Helps prepare learners to sit for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) CPC exam – the industry gold-standard certification.
  • Employers who want workers with a focus more on medical coding versus medical billing, this program could be the perfect partnership. Coursework is even aligned to the CPC exam.
  • Ensure your learners are ready to take their certification exam with CPC practice tests, included in the program curriculum.
  • AAPC Practicode course is included – meaning when learners complete the course and pass the CPC exam, they skip Apprentice Status and are considered a fully certified coder!
  • Your students will receive a student membership to the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
