best places to take coding classes?

I want to take coding classes, but the school that everybody says is the best is an online course. I am an MT, working full time and then some. The last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer any more than I already do. Why can't these classes be offered in a regular class setting? I've never liked the idea of online school as long as I'm working on line. Just too much sitting and staring at the screen. I don't think I'm al ...

I'm new to this board so bear with me. Having been a MT forever it seems, I'm thinking of making a switch to coding. At one point I was even hired as an entry level coder, learning on the job, but when i position came open in transcription took that as it paid better. In hindsight wish I had stuck with the coding as then could have gone either or even both ways. My problem would be having to actually "go" to a school in person , but i would want something reputable, not som ...

I work full-time as an MT and take coding classes through a distance learning progam, I'm about half way through and have just started to learn coding; first inpatient, then outpatient.

I am thinking ahead to coding jobs, though, and recently applied for a medical records clericial position where a small amount of coding would be involv ...

I was at our county fair this afternoon (town of 2200) and I know someone who works in the on-line tech school office and she said that the MT classes are going strong and students are graduating and getting jobs, but apparently they are in-house. I am going to get the teacher's name and number and call her and see where they are going and how much they are making as this does not make sense at all. The place the classes come out of is about 80,000 people and I know that all the ...

Accepted a job, gave 2 weeks notice, and yesterday was my first day. I was to be helping out transcription (1000 jobs behind), and then sitting with billing and training with coding as their coder will be out on maternity leave in December.

Wondering if there are any coders out there who can give me an idea of the fate of coding due to the EMR. Are there still coding jobs out there?

Any information/insight w ...
