New for this fall, CCM has teamed up with the American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) to upgrade its Medical Billing and Coding program. Now graduates will qualify to sit for the AAPC Certified Professional Coders exam, which is the industry accepted initial certification for employment.

Adding to CCM’s entry-level healthcare programs, the college will be offering the New Jersey Board of Nursing approved Certified Homemaker/Home Health Aide course. In just four weeks, students can begin working in the healthcare field.

Additionally, CCM is expanding training programs in one of the fastest growing health fields, addictions counseling, with the Chemical Dependency Associate, Peer Recovery Support Certificate. This course is designed for people already working in the field who lack certification. The training hours can all be used toward the Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor program.

Another new program is the Toastmasters Basic Business Communications course to help participants gain the confidence to give high-quality, engaging presentations, along with developing basic meeting management, critical thinking and listening skills.
