CMMC Instructors

Within the CMMC ecosystem the training community is a vital part of facilitating the creation of expertly trained and certified assessors who will work on the CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) assessment teams. Assessors obtain their rigorous instruction from Licensed Training Providers (LTPs) prior to pursuing their high-stakes examination(s) to obtain their certification status and before starting to participate on assessments.

Whereas, instructors are individuals who deliver training and must undertake a series of training and pass certification themselves to qualify to become instructors.

To maintain their status a Licensed Training Partner (LTP), an LTP must deliver at least one certified class per year, certified classes must use CAICO Approved Training Material (CATM), Certified Classes must be taught or facilitated by CAICO Certified Instructors.
