Carley Corporation Awarded Marine Corps
Information System Security Manager (ISSM) Course

April 04, 2002

The Marine Corps Distance Learning Center has contracted with Carley Corporation for the development of the CD-ROM and web-based ISSM course. The Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) will provide a vehicle for sustainment training for the Information Systems Security Concepts Course (ISSC) currently taught at MCCES 29 Palms, CA. This distance learning course will provide the sustainment of knowledge and skills required for an ISSM to perform regular duties. The current resident course is 3 weeks (120 hours) and includes coverage of case studies to reinforce learning. The target audience for this IMI is service members that have been out of the billet for a period of time or that may not have the opportunity to attend resident instruction, but who are performing the duties within the ISSM billet and who require refresher training. The instruction will also provide future ISSMs with preliminary training prior to attending the formal school. The course will include 60 hours of Level II IMI, with the remaining case studies being addressed in 20 hours of Level III interactivity.
