Why SMD Coding

Training designed around how the job is actually done

Our instructors use the latest tools and technology so that every student gains practical skills they can apply from day one in a real coding environment.

Experienced instructors

Founded and managed by professionals with tenured knowledge of the US healthcare industry.

Hands-on practice

Real-world scenarios and hands-on practice with the ICD, CPT and HCPCS books, so you learn to find codes the way you will on the job.

Personalized attention

Instructors work closely with each student, offering guidance and mentorship throughout the program.

100% placement guarantee

The CPC program carries a 100% placement guarantee, backed by a team that works directly with coding and billing organizations.

Certification & training

One program, taught end to end: CPC Certification

CPC stands for Certified Professional Coder, the credential awarded by AAPC. Our three-month program takes you from the first page of the syllabus to the exam — two months of teaching, then a month given over entirely to mock tests.

3 months, in two phases

Two months covering the syllabus, then a dedicated month of mock tests. The split is deliberate: you learn it, then you prove you can apply it under exam conditions.

The full syllabus

ICD, CPT, HCPCS, anatomy, physiology and interview preparation — all six subjects taught in full, with nothing left to self-study.

Chapter-wise tests and 8–10 mock tests

A chapter-wise test series runs alongside the teaching, so gaps surface early. The final month is 8 to 10 full mock tests.

Complimentary HCC training

Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding training is included with the program at no extra cost.

Online or offline

Take the program online from wherever you are, or offline in person with us. The syllabus and the test series are the same either way.

Built around AAPC's exam

The CPC exam is set by AAPC: 100 marks, with a minimum of 70 marks to pass. You register and pay for it directly with AAPC — that fee is not an SMD Coding charge.
