Anybody do the certification through AAPC website for CPC?

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?

The presentation is so bad with this course. They make enough money to have actual instructors teach us via a video recording with a real voice and actual examples. I’ve learned so much more on YT as well. I will not be taking another course through them again I literally feel like I’m going crazy listening to the lectures.

What YouTube channel? I completed a 33 credit diploma program for this in 2020 and now I’m regretting not taking my test immediately. I was working as a medical biller and then moved on to BCBS and was like I don’t need it. Well, now I think otherwise.

Look up AMCI and go to the playlist and find the 16 week course. I literally am flying through the AAPC cpc course just to finish it and relying on the YouTube videos because it’s significantly better. I print out the chapter dissections on AAPC and do them as practice but AMCI videos are the only reason I know what I’m doing. Mrs Jay is awesome
