I'm almost finished with my CPC portion of the course. I was wondering is it possible to get a job in the coding field/medical field after I pass the CPC test? I currently have a full-time job; I want to prepare myself to start applying to jobs and things of that nature. Thanks for any advice that you can provide.

Please use the search feature in the forum (top right corner). Use terms: CPC-A, Apprentice, CPC-A Job, Entry Level, etc. There are a lot of posts and info about this.
It seems a little odd that you would ask if it is possible to get a job after taking/studying for/passing the CPC. Did you look into it or do any research before taking the course or wanting to take the exam? What made you take the course/exam in the first place?

hi i did that, and pulled up nothing. i am concerned. i just signed a loan for over $3000 for this course today. and i did research the job market, talked to career couselors, all assured me that i would get a job. well, now i am not so sure. and your response to the person who was asking for tips, was rather, clip. she was asking a valid question.
I agree with you
I can not find a job and have been looking since January 2025. Everyone seems to want experience even as a receptionist!!!! I wish I could offer you mor. Good LuckKylemurphy83

I to have completed my course and passed my cert on Dec. 11 and I still can't find a job. I've been applying to coder 1 positions and cpc-a and nothing. I've had one interview out of dozens of applications, they all want experience. Just starting to think I made the wrong decision any help would be much appreciated. AAPC should of done a better job of explaining what happens next after you pass your cert.

Did you go through a school for your CPC or on your own? Through a school you are considered to have experience.I agree with you
Yes the AAPC and I do identify this on my resume. People are asking for at least one to three years experience.
