The CCP pathway builds internal practitioners who understand how CMMC Level 2 requirements are interpreted, evaluated, and defended.

This immersive, in-person experience is designed to strengthen institutional readiness before formal assessment occurs.

CCP participants gain the ability to:

Interpret CMMC requirements through an assessor-informed lens
Scope CUI environments defensibly
Develop and refine System Security Plans (SSPs)
Identify documentation and evidence gaps early
Align IT, security, research, and compliance stakeholders
Prepare for the CCP certification exam (exam voucher not included)

This pathway builds institutional fluency and reduces assessment risk.

The CCA pathway builds assessment-grade capability within the institution.

Designed for professionals who have earned—or are eligible to earn—their CCP certification, this advanced pathway builds the rigor, professional judgment, and defensible decision-making skills required to confidently participate in or lead formal CMMC Level 2 assessments.

CCA participants gain the ability to:

Evaluate SSPs at an assessor-authority level
Analyze complex scoping and enclave models
Apply Examine, Interview, and Test methodologies rigorously
Validate evidence sufficiency and scoring rationale
Draft defensible assessment findings
Prepare for the CCA certification exam (exam voucher not included)

This pathway shifts participants from practitioner-informed to assessment-capable.
