CMMC Fundamentals
The CMMC Fundamentals course was exactly what my team needed to move the ball down the field as CMMC consultants to many clients in the Defense Industrial Base. It feels great to know a team like Edwards has our back. I highly recommend this course.
Project Management & Systems Engineering
This is one of the better classes I've ever taken. The instructor not only knew the material, but conveyed lots of helpful information and different ways to retain it. Would highly advise this bootcamp over individual PM classes.
CMMC Training
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.
Project Management
Training courses were tailored to various audiences, and conducted by exceptional instructors who were able to deliver the materials in captivating ways.

Over the five days I learned a tremendous amount about CMMC. The course was organized in a way that made the material manageable to understand and apply.
