CMMC Training Course — Cybersecurity Maturity Model

The course covers CMMC Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 preparation, including all 14 NIST SP 800-171 control families. Learners work through gap assessment methodology, System Security Plan development, POA&M management, DFARS clause flow-down considerations, and C3PAO assessment preparation using QMS Learning’s AI Workbench and audit-evidence export tools.

The course is designed for CISOs, IT directors, compliance officers, program managers, and defense contractor leaders responsible for CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness. It is especially relevant for prime contractors, subcontractors, and DIB companies that need internal capability for assessment preparation, evidence organization, and ongoing compliance management.

The CMMC & NIST 800-171 Course is scheduled as a pilot cohort opening in Q3 2026. It is delivered as self-paced online training, allowing teams to complete lessons around operating schedules while still receiving role-profile onboarding, AI Workbench access, Manager Dashboard visibility, and Audit-Evidence Package export capability.

Yes. The course includes SSP development and POA&M management as core training areas. The QMS Workbench is trained on NIST SP 800-171, CMMC assessment guides, ISO 27001 Annex A, and DFARS clause flow-down requirements, helping teams draft SSP sections, build POA&M entries, and organize evidence more consistently.

The training is built to support C3PAO assessment preparation by teaching control-family requirements, gap assessment methods, evidence expectations, and readiness documentation. It does not replace an authorized assessor, but it helps internal teams understand what must be demonstrated before assessment and how to compile objective evidence more efficiently.

Pricing is available upon demo request, with early-access pricing available for the first five buyers of the CMMC & NIST 800-171 pilot cohort. QMS Learning also offers pathway pricing for the broader Defense Cybersecurity Readiness Training Pathway, with demos available Tuesday through Thursday from 10am to 4pm PST.

The individual course focuses on CMMC, NIST 800-171, SSPs, POA&Ms, and C3PAO preparation. The Defense Cybersecurity Readiness Training Pathway bundles that course with ISO 27001 ISMS, SOC 2 Compliance, and Data Privacy training for teams needing broader cybersecurity, privacy, and audit-readiness coverage.

Each learner receives role-profile onboarding, AI Workbench access, Manager Dashboard visibility, and Audit-Evidence Package export capability. The platform is designed to turn training activity, completed scenarios, generated artifacts, and progress records into organized evidence that managers can review and export for audit or assessment readiness.
