AAPC offers training courses for CPC, COC, and CIC certification preparation.
The CPC Prep course teaches physician office coding and helps to prepare a student for the CPC certification exam.
The COC Prep course teaches coding for an outpatient hospital/facility setting and helps to prepare a student for the COC certification exam.
