This is the Guided Learning path for the Edwards Performance Solutions Certified CMMC Professional (CCP 2.0) Exam Prep course. Over the course of 20 hours, this CCP Guided Learning course covers the foundational required CCP curriculum as well as CMMC Level 2 scoping and all 110 CMMC Level 1 and 2 practices.

Students enrolled in this Guided Learning curriculum will have access to interactive e-learning modules or recorded lectures and discussions for each CCP Exam Blueprint domain. Each module or recording uses the same CMMC Approved Training Material (CATM) course materials as our Instructor-Led Training. Each portion of the Guided Learning curriculum is brought to you by one or more of Edwards’ world-class Provisional Instructors. In addition to the self-paced modules and recordings, students have access to two 90-minute Study Sessions with our provisional instructor team. You also will have email access to our instructor team throughout the duration of this course. Following the successful completion of the course materials, students will have access to a CCP Practice Exam. Our instructor team will monitor your course progress to ensure you are as prepared as possible for the CCP exam. Successful completion of this course will result in your course progress being sent to CAICO/The Cyber AB, allowing you to register for the CCP Exam.
