Obtain an international certification in Contract and Commercial Management
The CCM Practitioner certification program is our most popular certification. Increasingly, both public and private companies are requiring their employees to obtain this certification as part of their mandatory continuing education. Through the program, you gain insight into processes, activities, methods, and best practices, and acquire the skills to understand and apply the key principles and techniques in contract management. NSCCM is accredited by World Commerce and Contracting (formerly IACCM) as an official training partner.
This program is ideal for those who are intensely involved with or responsible for contracts and contract processes. You might work as a contract manager, IT contract manager, lawyer, purchaser, procurement consultant, bid manager, salesperson, or project manager. Typically, you play an operational role but also contribute to shaping processes, roles, and responsibilities in relation to contract management in collaboration with management. You need thorough knowledge of the most important processes, activities, and tools, and you're seeking inspiration on how your organization can best arrange its contract management.
CCM Practitioner is approved by the public competence funds. Read how you can apply for funding here.
