As a CMMC-AB approved Licensed Training Provider (LTP), we are experts at pinpointing the exact requirements put by CMMC and embracing those requirements through the training curriculum. Considering that the defense industrial base (DIB) partnership consists of more than 300,000 companies and their subcontractors who perform under contract with the DoD, the demand for Certified CMMC Professionals and Certified CMMC Assessors (CCA) will be enormous.

This type of certification is the essence for anyone who wishes to provide informed consulting services to Level 1 self-assessment customers, those who wish to participate as an Assessment Team Member on a Level 2 assessment, or those that wish to progress forward an become a Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA). A Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) can be part of an assessment team under the supervision of a Certified CMMC Assessor. In order to become a CCP, the respective candidate must successfully complete a CMMC-AB Certified CMMC Professional Training from a PECB Licensed Training Provider. Taking the exam is optional for those who wish to operate as Certified CMMC Professionals only. More information on becoming a Certified CMMC Professionals can be found here.
