How Do I Remove the Apprentice ("A") Designation From My Credential?

Written by Andrew McLaughlin

If you hold a credential with an Apprentice designation (for example, CPC-A), you may qualify to have the Apprentice designation removed by submitting qualifying documentation.
​

Accepted Documentation

You may qualify through one or more of the following:

Professional Coding Experience

Submit:

  • Employer letter describing coding experience

  • Company letterhead

  • Direct supervisor signature

  • No digital signatures

Education

Submit:

  • Official Transcripts: Must specify total coding education hours completed

  • Completion certificate

  • Official Letters: Must detail completed hours from the institution

Education documentation must meet current contact-hour requirements.
​

Practicode

Completion of the required Practicode experience pathway may satisfy Apprentice removal requirements, when applicable.
​

Submitting Documentation

Documentation may be submitted through the Apprentice Removal Dashboard.
