For IT leaders

What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course

Organizations supporting DoD contracts need a shared, practical understanding of CMMC before assessment planning begins. This beginner-level course gives IT Directors, Training Managers, Team Leads, compliance staff, and IT Practitioners a structured path through CMMC fundamentals, practice families and domains, Level 1 assessment expectations, and Level 2 and 3 requirements and assessments. At just over 6 hours of training per learner, it is a realistic assignment for small security teams, contractor IT groups, or cross-functional compliance stakeholders who need common language before remediation work or audit preparation. For change management, assign it early in a CMMC readiness effort so technical and non-technical stakeholders align on assessment scope, evidence expectations, and maturity level goals. CBT Nuggets Playlists and Team Reporting help Training Managers assign the full sequence and confirm completion across the team.
