Testimonials

  • "We have had great success, particularly with the Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing course. We have a 96% pass rate for students taking the AHIMA or AAPC tests upon completion of their program. The national pass rate is around 67%—so I think that speaks to the quality of the course Career Step offers. " -Chris Foster, Emily Griffith Technical College Read More Testimonials »
  • "When UNM Continuing Education first decided to offer Career Step training, we began slowly with the expectation of a small interest and limited enrollments. We have tripled our expectation and since added two additional training programs with a fourth in consideration. Career Step has quality training at a reasonable cost and many benefits that make this program stand above the rest." -Loree Nalin, Program Supervisor, UNM Continuing Education Read More Testimonials »
