Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) – Training Courses
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework is a verification mechanism designed to measure the organizations’ maturity regarding the protection of unclassified information such as Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC is a new set of cybersecurity standards that encompasses various cybersecurity standards, references, and other best practices. It comprises a number of processes and practices which are mapped across five cumulative certification levels.
The CMMC model is developed and managed by the Department of Defense (DoD) and is considered to be the DoD’s response to potential compromises of sensitive information that resides on Defense Industrial Base (DIB) systems and networks. CMMC Accreditation Body (CyberAB), on the other hand, is the sole authoritative source for the operationalization of CMMC assessments and training.
Why is CMMC Important for You?
As in any other area, the large number of security incidents has also affected the Defense Industrial Base and the supply chain of the Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD is aware that, in order to decrease the risk related to national economic security and in general the national security, it should be focused on protecting its unclassified information.
Therefore, the DoD released the CMMC framework which assesses and enhances the cybersecurity posture of organizations throughout the DoD contractor community. Since CMMC is a cybersecurity standard, the CMMC certification will eventually be required for all DoD contractors, including small businesses, commercial item contractors, and other suppliers.
The CMMC training courses will help you acquire knowledge on CMMC domains, practices, and processes and understand how they may be applied within the DoD supply chain. In addition, CMMC training courses will help you understand the CMMC certification process and prepare you for your role in the CMMC-AB ecosystem.
Benefits of the CMMC Training Courses
The Certified CMMC training courses will help you to:
- Understand the basic concepts, definitions, and approaches of the CMMC model
- Understand the CMMC domains, capabilities, processes, and practices applicable for each CMMC maturity level
- Gain the ability to interpret the CMMC requirements in the specific context of an organization
- Understand the CMMC assessment methodology and process across all CMMC levels
- Obtain the necessary expertise to support an organization in implementing and managing the requirements of the CMMC model
How Do I Get Started with CMMC Training Courses?
Our training courses are delivered by experienced trainers which aim to help you extend your professional knowledge and advance your skills on CMMC requirements implementation and assessment. PECB is also an approved organization as a Licensed Partner Publisher (LPP) for CMMC, and it will develop training curricula based on the CMMC-AB’s Body of Knowledge.
PECB experts will help you to facilitate your certification process and help you obtain one of the PECB certifications.

CMMC Certified Professional
Certified CMMC Professional training course enables participants to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) model and its requirements. It is a gateway for assessors, as it is a prerequisite to achieve the Certified CMMC Assessor credential.
Why Should You Attend?
By attending the Certified CMMC Professional training course, you will acquire knowledge about the structure of the CMMC 2.0 model including CMMC levels, domains, and practices. In addition, you will develop the ability to understand, differentiate, and explain the relationship between the CMMC and the primary reference documentation such as FAR 52.204-21, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST SP 800-171. You will be able to (a) identify, describe, and compare the roles and responsibilities of each member of the CMMC ecosystem, (b) identify and mitigate ethical concerns based on CMMC Code of Professional Conduct, (c) identify and analyze the CMMC model source and supplementary documents, (d) understand the implementation of CMMC practices and review of CMMC level 1 practices, (e) explain the CMMC assessment phases and the role of the Certified CMMC Professional in CMMC assessment process, and (f) understand how to define the CMMC high-level scoping.
This training course will allow you to become a valuable asset for CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs), organizations demanding CMMC trained resources, and consultancy agencies.
The successful completion of the training course is followed by an exam. If you pass the exam, you can apply for the “Certified CMMC Professional” credential. For more information about the examination process, please refer to the Examination section.
