ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Nevada Medical Cannabis Consultant Certificate

When cannabis professionals are well informed about the science, history, and policy of their industry, everyone benefits. This certificate combines two programs designed to elevate the knowledge base of cannabis industry employees so they can answer customer questions with confidence and competence. The Nevada Medical Cannabis Consultant course will prepare retail cannabis employees to serve qualified medical cannabis customers as well as non-patient adult use customers safely and effectively. Curriculum covers Nevada state cannabis laws and regulations germane to medical cannabis (MMJ); qualifying conditions and possible medical cannabis applications; risks of use, misuse, and abuse; safe handling; ethics; and customer privacy.

 

Cannabis Budtender Certificate

The Budtender Certificate bundle includes both the Cannabis Professional and Customer Service for Cannabis Retail. Prepare to work with Cannabis as a store employee, manager or one of the many positions within retail space. In this course we will discuss history and folklore of this plant, its anatomy, cannabinoid science, customer service in the cannabis industry as well as discussions about the law and current regulations. This course will prepare retail marijuana employees to best serve customers, with both medical and “recreational” adult users in mind.


Once you fulfill all certificate program requirements as outlined in the Academic Plan, you may request your certificate.
