WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Outstandingly informative course. By far the most notes I've ever taken based on the SHEER amount of information provided.

John Britton

The perspectives of the different instructors was good. Especially those who already went through the DIBCAC process.

Richard Kyaw

This was a good course and starting point. Also liked the tie into the original 110 and difference with policy/procedure/management.

Sonya Wickel

Over the 5 days I learned a tremendous amount about CMMC. The course was laid out in a way that made the explanation of CMMC manageable to digest.

Preetesh Patel

The first part that made this so amazing was the different experiences and insight that each of the three instructors provided. I haven't been in a class quite like this and now the rest of my classes may be a bit of a letdown if they aren't with Edwards.

John Hocking

The process was done really well. I have a much better perspective on what I need to put together and how the policy and process and plans should look.

Matt Katzer

Overall the sharing of thoughts and ideas on how to apply and properly interpret the CMMC Practices and Objectives was the most valuable.
