Depending on your program, you can prepare for various certifications. For example, our Medical Coding and Billing helps you prepare for the CPC exam, while our Pharmacy Technician program helps you prepare for the PTCE exam. Each program page lists specific certifications your program helps you prepare for upon completion.
Program length varies depending on the program and your dedication. Our online format allows for flexible, self-paced learning to fit your schedule. We also offer extensions, for an additional cost, should you need more time.
The courses are completely online, so your computer is an important part of your learning experience. CareerStep uses Canvas as its learning management system (“LMS”) for the Coursework of the Program. Canvas is a 3rd party LMS that allows the Learner to work in the cloud.
For best performance, Canvas should be used on the current or first previous major release of the Learner’s web browser. CareerStep recommends a laptop or PC as mobile devices such as iPads, Chromebooks, tablets or smartphones only work for basic study. CareerStep does not recommend mobile devices as the Learner’s main or only source of study as additional 3rd party tools that CareerStep uses inside Canvas may not work on all mobile devices.
CareerStep provides several career resources, including resume-building templates and information, certification and badging information, and access to job listing resources. You can even access these resources during your training to help you prepare before completion.
