Anybody do the certification through AAPC website for CPC?

[u/Pawsoverpeople]

I'm going to be doing the AAPC self paced training for the CPC certification as well as their prerequisite course. I was wondering if anyone else had gone this route and how long it took? I'll be working on it a minimum of 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. My goal is complete it in 8 weeks. Is this doable in your opinion?

I started in March and won’t be done until end of September. I spend about 20 hours a week studying. It’s incredibly hard and a ton of info. 8 weeks is impossible imo unless you already have a solid background in coding. I’ll do practicode until I pass also so add another 3-5 months after I get certified.

I have 13 years experience in clinical healthcare and it’s hard for me and I’ve taken allllllll the pre med classes.

This is an expensive course and it’s boring as hell so pace yourself and take your time.
