Course Outline

Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) is the next step for Certified CMMC Professionals (CCPs) aiming to advance their careers as Assessors.

​

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, managed by The Cyber AB (formerly the CMMC Accreditation Body), is designed to validate defense contractors’ compliance with cybersecurity practices. Once rulemaking concludes and CMMC 2.0 is fully implemented, all organizations providing products or services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must meet the required CMMC Level specified in their contracts.

​

CMMC Assessors are qualified individuals authorized by The Cyber AB to evaluate organizations against the CMMC framework through on-site or remote assessments.

​

One of the main benefits associated with attending the CMMC training course is having expert instructors who provide the masterful training you need to absorb information quickly and implement important steps in your daily operational activities. Our trainers have considerable years of experience in delivering training courses in various industries. That being said, our CMMC training curriculum and our experts are capable of offering you the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in your job position.

As a Cyber AB/CAICO Approved Training Provider (ATP), we are experts at pinpointing the exact requirements put by CMMC and embracing those requirements through the training curriculum.

In order to become a CCA, the respective candidate must successfully complete a CMMC-AB/Cyber AB/CAICO Certified CMMC Professional / CMMC Certified Professional Training from a Cyber AB Licensed Training Provider / Approved Training Provider.
