CMMC Level 1 Implementation Workshop: Hands-On Guidance Through All 15 Controls

April 7 @ 8:00 am - April 30 @ 5:00 pm

Most defense contractors know they need to deal with CMMC. What they don’t know is exactly how to do it, or where to start. The requirements are clear enough on paper: 15 security practices, a self-assessment, an executive affirmation filed in SPRS.

But translating that into action? That’s where companies get stuck. They read the same guidance documents three times, buy tools they don’t need, or pay consultants thousands of dollars for work they could do themselves.

Starting April 7, Cape Fear Community College, in partnership with the North Carolina Military Business Center, is offering a hands-on CMMC Level 1 course designed specifically for small and mid-sized contractors who want to get this done efficiently, affordably, and correctly.

The course is fully hybrid, so you can attend in person in Wilmington or join virtually from anywhere. This isn’t limited to the Cape Fear region. If you have an internet connection, you can participate.

Over 8 evening sessions across 4 weeks (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6 to 9 PM), participants work through the entire Level 1 process:

  • Scoping your FCI environment so you know exactly what’s covered
  • Implementing the 15 required practices with real configurations and policies
  • Building your evidence pack so you’re audit-ready
  • Completing the self-assessment and preparing your executive affirmation
  • Filing in SPRS before you leave the final session

Participants work on their own systems and documents during the course, with direct support when questions come up.

This is a guided, control-by-control implementation process where participants configure their own systems and leave with a completed self-assessment ready to file in SPRS. Over 8 evening sessions across 4 weeks, participants work through each of the 15 required security practices with specific guidance on hardware, software, and configuration settings that satisfy each control. Questions are addressed in real time, whether high-level or deeply technical.

The support doesn’t end when class does. The course includes 30 days of follow-up support after the final session, plus one-on-one office hours throughout the program for individualized help on your specific situation.

When. April 7 – April 30, 2026

Cost: $760 (all materials included)
