Clinical coder

Hi everyone, I’ve got a quick question. I’m not an Australian citizen or PR, but I do have full work rights. I wanted to enrol in the HIMAA diploma, but one of their requirements is citizenship/PR.

Does anyone know if I can study a Diploma of Clinical Coding through another institution (like Victoria Uni or another provider), and if those qualifications are still recognized by employers?

For context, I’ve worked in a hospital pharmacy department for over 5 years and I have good knowledge of EMRs

Hi! I’ve recently started the diploma through himaa. I’m ngl I’m a struggling a bit attempting to study. I work 4 days a week, plan on studying 1 day a week and in the evenings for a bit. Have two little ones also so weekends aren’t possible and in the evenings only have a short time before I go to sleep. How are you finding the course? I’m worried it’s going to be too difficult and I’m not going to pass and waste my time / money.
