LICENSED PARTNER PUBLISHER
The CMMC-AB LPP program is designed for publishers of educational courses and content who wish to sell such content to education organizations such as universities, online schools or professional schools or direct to consumer.
The DoD has restricted the number of LPPs to 20 for the initial rollout of the CMMC-AB programs, as of Oct 2021 all spots are filled. If the DoD expands the LPP program we will update the website and re-open the application process. We do offer an Licensed Training Provider (LTP) program that is not restricted, if you are interested please review the program details on the LTP page. Thank you for your interest.
