Learn Best Practices for your Cannabis Business

The program introduces student learners to the best practices used by cannabis business operators in the cannabis industry within the United States.

This program does not look at state-specific regulations but rather views cannabis business operations through the best-accepted industry practices. This micro-credential especially focuses on “back of the house” operators who cultivate and manufacture cannabis for consumption by patients or consumers. This micro-credential will cover the best practices specific to cultivation operators as well as manufacturing operators and also highlight the general best practices applicable to both cultivation and manufacturing operations.

The objective of this training is to engage student learners of all skill levels in the industry-wide best practices within the strict operational regulatory structures required by individual states.
