Did you know? Curriculum licensing isn’t just for schools. Hospitals, clinics, and outpatient offices can reduce claim denials and maximize revenue by providing their staff with specialized training.

Higher pass rates

Only AAPC curriculum is specifically aligned to the credentialing exam, and our exam pass rates are the highest in the industry. In fact, students who learn with AAPC’s curriculum average an 80% pass rate, far above the national average of 27%.

Easy to implement

Our turnkey solutions provide everything you need to kick off the program. The lectures, practice exams, books, and study guides are ready to go — so you can expand your education offerings quickly and easily. And our curriculum meets government and agency standards, so you can avoid the approval process.

Save time and money

Industries change, technologies evolve, and learners’ needs vary. That’s why AAPC courses are routinely updated. We’re on the back-end making those important changes, so you don’t have to. Plus, as an Education Partner, you’ll enjoy discounts on AAPC books, exams, memberships and more.

Better employer partnerships

Your employer partnerships are important. And when students don’t get the training they need to do their job well, those partnerships suffer. With AAPC curriculum, your students will gain the knowledge they need to thrive on the job, starting on day one.
