Achieva Tech has announced the delivery of its official US Department of Defense CyberAB CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) course in Canada from May 19–22, 2026. The four-day instructor-led program is designed to help cybersecurity professionals, consultants, defence contractors, and Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) prepare for participation in the growing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) ecosystem.
The course will be delivered virtually by Arnold Villeneuve, one of the first internationally certified CMMC Lead Assessors and Instructors. With more than four decades of experience in IT, information management, and cybersecurity, Villeneuve has been involved in the CMMC program since its inception in 2019 and has delivered numerous CCP and CCA training programs throughout the United States and Canada.
As a recognized Approved Training Provider (ATP), Achieva Tech’s CCP program provides students with official CyberAB-authorized course materials, exam preparation guidance, and foundational knowledge required to pursue the Certified CMMC Professional credential. The CCP certification serves as the entry point into the CMMC assessor ecosystem and is a prerequisite for individuals seeking to become Certified CMMC Assessors (CCAs).
The May 2026 course comes at a time when defence contractors across North America are accelerating preparations for compliance with the US DoD CMMC program and Canada’s emerging Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC). Organizations supporting the US defence industrial base increasingly require personnel who understand CMMC scoping, assessment methodologies, evidence requirements, and protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
“Canadian organizations supporting the US defence supply chain are recognizing that CMMC readiness is no longer optional,” said Arnold Villeneuve. “The objective of this course is not only to prepare students for the CCP examination, but also to help them understand how real-world CMMC assessments are conducted and how organizations can properly prepare for certification.”
The training program includes:
- Official CyberAB CCP training materials
- CMMC core concepts and terminology
- Assessment scoping and readiness methodologies
- CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 concepts
- Evidence evaluation approaches
- Preparation guidance for the official CCP examination
Students who successfully complete the training will have their attendance reported to The Cyber AB, enabling them to register for the official CCP examination.
Achieva Tech stated that class size is intentionally limited to encourage interaction and practical discussion around assessment expectations, regulatory requirements, and defence-sector cybersecurity obligations.
