“This course changed the direction of my life. It’s a great school and a great program, and the professor is just amazing! ”
I needed a post-COVID career, and I hoped it would be enjoyable and add value to the world. It didn’t take years to get this new life! This course is a fast track (less than 6 months) to get certified and I landed a position soon after passing my certification exam.
Never have I ever had a teacher who cares more about her students and helps them get to the level of understanding needed to pass the certification exam. A coder herself, my professor provided endless support (even after hours), while sharing an AMAZING KNOWLEDGE BASE and experience!
I’ve been a medical coder for a year now and I also serve on the Board of Directors of our local AAPC chapter. I am looking to get another certification as I am fearlessly moving forward in my new career.

The United Way Miami Workforce Project offers the Income Share Agreement (ISA) as a way for students to finance their training program. Through an ISA, you pay nothing upfront for your job training. After graduation, there is a 3-month grace period before payments start.
Payments start only if you secure a job earning more than the minimum income threshold. This threshold is around $3,170 a month (equivalent to an annual salary of $38,000).
As part of the verification process, you will be asked to upload documentation confirming your employment status and income.
After the grace period, if your monthly income exceeds $3,170:
If you earn less than $3,170 in a given month, you do not need to make a payment that month. Your payment obligation will be paused until your monthly income goes above the minimum income threshold again.
You pay 8% of your monthly income each month that you earn over the minimum income threshold, which is around $3,170 monthly for this program (equivalent to annual salary of $38,000).
If your monthly income is below $3,170, your payment obligation will be paused.
Your ISA amount is the sum of the program tuition and any living stipend amount you receive. You will never pay more than 1.5 times of your ISA amount. Once you hit this “payment cap,” your ISA contract is fulfilled, even if you have not reached the end of your payment term.
Please see the “What is an Income Share Agreement (ISA)?” section above for more detail.
After graduation, there is a 3-month grace period before payments start.
After the grace period, you will be asked to upload documentation confirming your employment status and income. If you are employed and earning more than the minimum income threshold ($3,170 monthly), you will begin to make monthly payments.
If your income is below this threshold, your payment obligation will pause.
Please see the “What is an Income Share Agreement (ISA)?” section above for more detail.
Your payment term can vary from 32 to 60 months depending on your ISA amount. Your ISA amount is the program tuition plus any living stipend you received.
Generally, your payment term is 3 years (36 months) without the living stipend option, and 5 years (60 months) with the maximum living stipend option.
Please see the “What is an Income Share Agreement (ISA)?” section above for more detail.
While we offer support to set you up for success, we understand that life happens.
The refund policy varies depending on when you withdraw. You will still have an ISA contract, which means you are still obligated to make monthly repayments if your income is above the minimum income threshold.
If you have chosen to receive a living stipend, your living stipend payments will end upon your withdrawal.
You are only obligated to make your ISA payments if you secure a job after graduation and earn more than the minimum income threshold ($3,170 monthly).
You do not make payments if you are unable to obtain a job or have a job earning below this minimum income threshold.
