Joy asked:

Does doing this course provide you with a cpc certification or can I secure a coding job with just the diploma. Thanks

Answer:

Thank you for your question regarding the Medical Billing and Coding Advance Diploma. CPC certification requires passing an exam which is a separate process from completing this course. As this is not a medical degree and may not be sufficient on its own to secure a coding job. The course is designed to enhance your skills in the field of medical billing and coding, and the knowledge you gain may be helpful in securing a job in this field. Best regards, Academy of Skills

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
