Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I complete the medical coding short-term or one-year certificate program?
Students can complete the short-term certificate in just two semesters. Students can complete the one-year certificate in one calendar year.
Can I take classes online or face-to-face?
Students pursuing a healthcare degree should expect to take classes face-to-face to experience hands-on learning. Some general education classes may be offered online.
Can I pursue an associate degree after I complete one or both of the Medical Coding Certificates?
Students who complete either or both of the Medical Coding certificates are encouraged to continue because they are well on their way to completing the Medical Coding associate degree.
What type of financial assistance is available to help me pay for college?
Every student is also encouraged to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for grants, scholarships and loans. Students who complete a FAFSA are automatically considered for some scholarships. Other scholarships require an application.

Offering flexibility to meet your needs.
How are classes offered at COTC?
At COTC, we know students need flexibility in their schedules. Many of our technical courses require hands-on participation in our campus labs to learn and master job skills. Other courses — such as lectures — can be attended in a variety of ways. That’s why we offer and deliver face-to-face, online and hybrid courses.
- On-campus, face-to-face classes require students to a campus location on designated days and times. In some cases, students on all four COTC campus locations may attend the same class on the same day and time through DTEN video conferencing technology. DTEN technology is only available in certain classrooms for streaming of live instruction by a faculty member.
- Online classes do not have scheduled days and times to meet. Students login to the college’s learning management system (Canvas) to complete their coursework.
- Hybrid classes are a combination of face-to-face and online learning. There will be days and times where class meets on campus, but less frequently than a course that meets fully face-to-face.
