You can go to the AAPC website- http://www.aapc.com/ and on the right hand side you can pick either coding training or to get your certification and then you can pick classroom or distant learning.

This is my recommendation. Go on line to the AAPC web site " American Academy of Professional Coders AAPC.com.
You can look up the Chapter in your area, it will list the officers. Contact the Chapter officers in your area and they will direct you to who teaches classes for the CPC Certification. Ususally it is one night a week that you need to attend. But they walk you through everything and also where and when to sit for the Exam. If you need further assistance please contact me.
I highly recommend the AAPC.
Good Luck to you.
