Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) Training Course
This Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) course will assist students with an understanding of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standard. An Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) will be assessed against the CMMC requirements to ensure compliance with applicable cybersecurity policies, practices and plans to increase their security posture. It’s expected in the coming years that all organizations providing non-off the shelf products or services to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) must obtain CMMC certification.
This course prepares students for the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) certification, which permits the CCP to participate as an assessment team member under the supervision of a Certified CMMC Assessor. The CCP certification is a prerequisite for the Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) certification. SteelToad’s CCP course runs from Monday – Friday, 8 hours per day, for a total of 40 hours to course completion. It is interactive and our instructors led SteelToad in aligning with CMMC goals to achieve certification as a CMMC C3PAO. You will learn from instructors who have successfully led and achieved certification alignment against the CMMC model.
