Anton’s provide the best CPC Exam preparation with updated mocks and time management tips. They follow AAPC’s updated textbooks and maintain good quality in teaching. Though we had online classes for 3 months, we used to have a mindset that classroom lectures are more effective. But my mentor and her fabulous training team arranged online sessions in such a way that I could crack my CPC exam with 85% marks and got a job in UA
