The Cyber-AB Marketplace will list you if you have taken the training and passed the CCA exam. It will show additional “check-marks” if you have passed suitability and if you have participated in three assessments. Your C3PAO is responsible for reporting the assessments to the Cyber-AB.
At this point, if you have your suitability determination and assessment experience, many C3PAOs are allowing their CCAs to lead assessments.
Requirements:
U.S. Citizen and achieve a favorably adjudicated Tier 3 suitability determination
Associated with a C3PAO organization that is authorized to perform assessments
Maintain ethical behavior per Code of Professional Conduct and as needed to maintain Suitability Determination

Are you ready to agonize about whether to record a NOT-MET requirement, and take all of the pressure that comes with it, for several months afterward?
Are you willing to continue training and fees to maintain your certified status?
