CMMC600 - Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) Bootcamp

Course Description

Bootcamp | 30 hours | 3.0 CEUs | $3,495

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, managed by The Cyber AB (formerly known as the CMMC Accreditation Body or the CMMC-AB), is designed to validate defense contractors’ compliance with the cybersecurity practices required by their contracts. Once rulemaking has concluded and CMMC 2.0 has been fully implemented, all organizations providing products or services to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) must comply with the requirements of their applicable CMMC Level. A CCP class will get you up to speed on what the CMMC Assessment program entails. Plus, CCP training will position you not only to help companies prepare for their Assessments, but also get you started on the assessor track. 

Certification Exam Preparation: This course is a prerequisite for the CMMC Certified Professional program, and it prepares students for the CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) certification exam. Students might consider taking this course to learn how to perform CMMC certification readiness checks within their own organization, or as a consultant to Organizations Seeking Assessment (OSAs) or Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs). The CCP certification is also a required step toward becoming a CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA), so students might take this course to begin down the path toward becoming an assessor.

This class is designed for the following audiences:

• Individuals pursuing formal CMMC certifications (CCP, CCA, or CCI) 
• Employees in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) 
• Compliance officers and staff 
• Prospective CMMC consultants 
• Anyone looking to build a foundation of knowledge and skills around the new CMMC requirements  

CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) is a baseline course for anyone looking to build a foundation of CMMC knowledge.  

CMMC600 is the first course in the CMMC Professional Certificate. To complete the certificate students will also enroll in CMMC700. Click on each course link for more details and to add to cart.
