The Executive Concession Manager program, available to NAC Concession Manager Certification graduates (CCMs), is a hands-on program for management and executive-level concession professionals.
The one day course, which is highly interactive, builds upon the basic CCM course while providing specific tools and concepts that are needed at the executive level. There is no exam for the ECM course. Those completing the course may use the designation ECM (Executive Concession Manager).
“The ECM course thoroughly explained the many aspects of upper-level concessions management in a practical, interactive way.”
– Terry Conlon, ECM, University of Illinois
