This is a foundational course introducing students to the existing legal framework the US Government uses to ensure the safeguarding of Federal Contract Information (FCI). Instructors provide a thorough review of the CMMC Level 1 (V2.0) and the 17 associated practice requirements. Students will understand self assessments and 3rd Party Assessments and will become proficient at using the CMMC Scoping Guidance for Level 1 and the Assessment Guide for CMMC Level 1. Students will spend a full day understanding the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) from the vantage point of what a CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) is responsible – and their role in planning, executing and reporting the assessment. This will include the Assessment Readiness Review. Instructors orient students to the market participants in the CMMC ecosystem and the ethical obligations of CMMC credentialed professionals.
Students will gain an orientation to CMMC Level 2 including a high level review of the 110 practice requirements, how to score a CMMC assessment, when limited practice deficiencies are allowed, when and how POA&Ms result in a final assessment and certification.
Close to 50% of this course is interactive through a series of tools from a digital workbook, Case Study, exercises, breakout rooms, polling, chat boxes, whiteboarding and instructor facilitated dialogue.
