National External Diploma Program® (NEDP®)
This program is a Maryland State approved method to earn a high school diploma. Very similar to an
assessment of prior learning process, this program allows adults to demonstrate essential academic
competencies, applying their knowledge and life experiences toward earning their high school diploma
rather than attending class and successfully completing the GED exam. Each participant works toward a
Maryland State High School Diploma by demonstrating academic skills in reading, writing, mathematics,
oral communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication technology within eight
competency areas. Participants are expected to meet with an assessor to develop a web-based/electronic
portfolio which demonstrates that they have acquired the skills required to be awarded a Maryland High
®
School Diploma. The NEDP assessors/advisors are available by appointment only at CCBC Catonsville
and CCBC Essex.
Length of Training:
Self-Paced - Successful completion is required within 15 months from the date of entering the Assessment
phase. The process usually takes between 4 and 12 months, depending on client motivation.
Information & Pre-Screening Session – Mandatory:
All participants must attend an Information/Pre-Screening session at either CCBC Catonsville or CCBC
Essex. Information sessions are by appointment only and include orientation, an assessment process and
th
advisement. All participants must have a 9 grade skill level and will be assessed in order to determine
their skill levels in reading and math (approximately a two hour process). Computer and Internet access is
required to complete all assignments for this self-paced/independent study program’s web-based format.
Participants are required to meet with an assigned assessor/advisor weekly to demonstrate completion of
at-home assignments, and to complete in-person web-based written and oral assessments at the center
locations.
Requirements:
18 years of age; no high school diploma; not enrolled or required to be enrolled in secondary school under
th
State law; able to demonstrate a minimum of 9 grade skills by pre-testing in math and reading; possess an
individualized skill that can be demonstrated through: documentation of a current occupation or trade; job
skills demonstrated by a current job; a certificate of job training; or a current occupational license.
Provisional Entry - Prospective participants must call 443-840-1284 for more information or to schedule an
appointment. Prospective participants must attend an information session, take math and reading skills
assessments, and provide occupational documentation.
Course Information:
Participants are expected to meet with an assigned independent assessor/advisor on a regular basis and
will be responsible for completing all in-person tasks and homework assignments as prescribed.

Medical Billing
Medical Billers are responsible for making sure patients are billed correctly. This involves interaction with
patients, government agencies and insurance companies. Medical billers need to know how to read a
medical invoice, understand some medical coding language and have strong human relations skills. This is
a good job for someone who wants to balance interaction with people and analyzing invoices and data.
Length of Training:
6 – 9 months
Billing courses start in January, May and September at CCBC Essex Campus, in March and August at
CCBC Randallstown, in January, June, September and October at CCBC Hunt Valley, and online in March,

Medical Coding
This course series prepares students to take the national certification exam to become a Certified
Professional Coder. Medical Coders typically work in large physician practices, hospitals or coding
companies. They must use federal diagnostic (ICD) and procedure (CPT) codes to express medical
services provided. This coding of services provides the basis for billing and collection of money for
services. Hours are generally standard daytime business hours with some evening/night/weekend flexibility
depending on facility. Processing medical claims is big business and a key need in today’s work place.
Accurate medical coding is essential to the delivery of quality health care and efficient health care
administration.
Length of Training:
9-12 months
Coding courses begin in January at CCBC Randallstown, in May at CCBC Essex, and online in August.
Requirements:
Training REQUIRES 100% attendance. Students arriving late to class will not be admitted. Late arrival to,
or early exit from, class will also result in a failing grade and no refund. Students will then be required to

for the national certification examination. Students must consent to having blood drawn by their
classmates during training. HIPAA Training, CPR and First Aid classes REQUIRE 100% attendance.

students having to redo the clinical tests or drug tests. Details and dates regarding this paperwork will be
presented at the orientation:

Apprenticeships
O*NET Codes: various codes, usually starting with 47 (Construction)
Most apprenticeships are in building and construction trades, with others in manufacturing and public
utilities. Each apprenticeship program varies in its course sequence, number of years, and number of
training hours/year required for completion. Apprenticeship opportunities involve paid employment and
structured education that will lead to higher salary, greater skill and the possibility of earning a degree.
Apprentices are selected by the apprenticeship sponsor (which might be a joint labor-management
apprenticeship committee, an industry association, or an employer). When apprentices are accepted into
the program, they begin taking classes through CCBC and working full-time under the supervision of a
trained journeyperson. It is not necessary to be employed when applying; many programs will dispatch
apprentices to a participating employer once they are selected for admission.
The following is a list of apprenticeship sponsors. Contact them directly to learn about the application
processes and timelines for the specific trade/craft of interest.

and work requirements. These rules are set by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and
Regulation (DLLR). The lower the grade of the license, the more powerful the boilers on which stationary
nd
engineers can work. For example, to be eligible to take the 2 grade license exam, the person must have
rd
first worked as a 3 grade stationary engineer for a time. There is an application and fee to sign up for
each certification exam.
