CMMC is no longer a future problem. Phase 1 is live today, and mandatory Phase 2 C3PAO enforcement begins in November 2026 — and prime contractors are already flowing requirements down to their subcontractors ahead of the government’s timeline.
CMMC for Business Professionals is the fastest way for a non-engineer to get fluent. In two focused half-days, you’ll learn what CMMC actually requires, whether your organization handles the information that triggers it, and what the road to November 2026 looks like for primes and subs alike.
You’ll leave able to hold your own in a conversation with assessors, C3PAOs, and contracting officers — and with a concrete checklist of next steps for both you and your organization. It’s the on-ramp before the deeper work of implementation, certification, and assessment.
