Planned foundation course
CMMC Certified Professional (CCP)
The CCP pathway is designed for people who need to understand how CMMC works, how the ecosystem fits together, and how Level 1 and Level 2 expectations show up in real organizations.
Planned launch pricing: $1,395. Enrollment opens once authorization is complete.
Who it is for
A practical starting point for the CMMC ecosystem.
The planned CCP course is for consultants, IT and security staff, compliance leads, executives, and team members who support organizations working toward CMMC readiness. It is also suited to professionals who want the credential foundation before deciding whether assessor training is right for them.
No narrow job title is required. The course assumes interest in CMMC and a willingness to learn the vocabulary, structure, and expectations that shape assessment readiness.
What the CCP credential represents
CCP is the foundation credential in the CMMC professional pathway. It signals that a person understands the CMMC model, the roles involved in the ecosystem, and the basic duties and constraints that apply to people who work around assessments.
This page describes the planned preparation course only. Certification decisions and exam administration are handled through the applicable CMMC credentialing process, not by this website.
