I’m worried about passing the exam. How do you help students do this?

Also, your tuition includes access to certification programs such as PersonAbility®, which teaches students important ‘soft skills’ which help you how to act in a professional environment, working with others in an the office, time management, and other skill sets. You will have access to the full Microsoft Office Suite including Outlook, Word, and Excel. You can order up to 4 hardcopy textbooks if you choose to use while you’re enrolled as a student. Our programs run equally on Microsoft Windows and Apple computer systems since they’re browser-based. All of this is included with your tuition at no extra charge.

All students must possess a high school diploma or GED certificate in order to attend CCOP. In addition, students must take and pass a simple basic skills exam which lets us know where you are with reading and math skillsets.

Yes! We assist all our students with career placement for as long as they require. We have excellent relationships with local physician’s offices, hospitals, business centers, and employers to help your students find the position they require that fits their needs.
