Unfortunately, many of those people are saying they can't find jobs - CPC vs CPC-A

Posted: Oct 8th, 2015 - 3:28 pm In Reply to: I think you are referring to CPC-As - who are complaining

I'm seeing huge numbers of CPC-As that have taken extra training to get the A removed and still can't pass employment exams. They are the ones who are saying that their foundational training was all multiple choice and that is a problem for them. I clearly know the difference between a CPC and a CPC-A.
