Built by Someone Who Needed It First
Brazen Learning started with a job interview, a gap in knowledge, and a decision to do something about it. Today it's a CLP-accredited federal compliance training platform — with hands-on labs — built for the people who actually do the work.
Why Brazen Learning Exists
It started with a job interview. Jennifer was pursuing a Project Manager role in the defense industry when the interviewer asked about CMMC. She didn't know the answer. So she did what she always does: she learned. What she found was a training landscape full of passive videos, expensive in-person seminars, and content that felt built to check a box, not build real capability.
She doesn't let problems sit half-solved. She built the training she wished had existed, and Brazen Learning was born.

The Team Behind the Courses
Jennifer Groh
Jennifer holds three master's degrees, including an M.Ed. in Instructional Design, an MBA in IT Management, and an M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction, along with PMP, PSM-II, SAFe 6 Agilist, and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certifications. She built Brazen Learning from concept to a fully operational platform with 160+ courses, 975+ lessons, and 48+ hands-on practice labs, every one of them designed, written, and quality-checked in-house. Her instructional design methodology is grounded in systems thinking: map the whole problem before designing the solution.
Co-Founder
Our co-founder has spent his entire adult career in the defense industry, where NIST and CMMC frameworks don't just shape policy discussions -- they shape every operational decision he makes. As a U.S. Air Force veteran with 25+ years of active defense contracting experience, he brings a practitioner's lens to everything we build. He works in the field every day, which means our courses are validated against what's actually happening on the ground, not just what's written in the regulation. When compliance requirements shift, he's already living the impact. His perspective ensures that every FAR, DFARS, and CMMC course we build reflects real-world application, not just regulatory theory.

What Makes Us Different
Most federal compliance training is recycled slide decks or passive video from someone who read the regulation. Ours is built by a credentialed instructional designer, validated by someone who works in the field every day, and designed so you actually practice what you learn.
Built In-House
Every course is written, designed, and quality-checked by our own team, not templated content, not AI filler, not outsourced.
Hands-On Practice Labs
More than half our courses include interactive labs where you apply what you just learned, not just watch it. 48+ labs and growing.
Practical Artifacts
Every course comes with templates, checklists, or job aids you can use the same day you complete the course.
Compliance-Current
Courses are reviewed on a regular cycle so what you learn today isn't outdated tomorrow.
CLP-Credentialed
Our documentation supports CLP credentialing. No subscriptions. No upsells. No fluff.
Field-Validated
Content is validated by an active defense contracting professional with 25+ years in the industry, not just the regulation text.
WOSB & Veteran Co-Owned
Certified Woman-Owned Small Business (75%), co-owned by a Service-Disabled Veteran (25%). We understand the federal landscape from the inside.
