The point is, who passes the CCS AHIMA credentials - Nothing else really matters

The school doesn't matter, but what matters more than anything else is, does the course prepare you for AHIMA's CCS exam. Andrews does. The AHIMA course is designed to teach the basics. I'm not sure why, because nobody hires anyone with just the basics or the CCA, but it is what it is.

If you want a job, get your CCS. To do that, get really good training, not just the basics. You can't do that in just a few months, but if it were easy, anyone could do it in a 4-month course. As we all know by now, the 4-month courses don't get you where you want to go, unless you enjoy being on forums telling everyone that nobody hires new coders. Some appear to enjoy that. From what you wrote, I'm guessing that you aren't one of those.
