Yes. Cannabis Training University is a long-standing online cannabis education provider focused on professional, compliance-aware training. Our programs are designed to help students understand how the cannabis industry actually works — without shortcuts, guarantees, or hype.
Yes. Cannabis Training University is an IACET Accredited Provider of online cannabis education. IACET, the International Association for Continuing Education and Training, is an ANSI-recognized accrediting body.
This accreditation means CTU meets established standards for continuing education and professional training. You can verify IACET accreditation standards through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Cannabis Training University is not a traditional degree-granting college. Our programs are structured as professional cannabis education and certification courses, designed for industry knowledge and career preparation rather than academic credit.
No prior cannabis experience is required. Many students enroll with no background in the industry. The program is designed to build foundational knowledge first and progress into more advanced topics.
No course can promise a job, and hiring depends on your state and the employer. A CTU certificate shows what you studied, with the hours and a verification code an employer can check online.
The Master of Cannabis program includes multiple certificates covering areas such as cannabis cultivation, budtending, medical cannabis, retail, extraction, business operations, and overall cannabis industry fundamentals.
The program is self-paced, so completion time varies by student. Some students move quickly, while others take more time to review materials and revisit lessons as needed
Cannabis laws vary by location. Cannabis Training University provides general industry education and does not replace state-specific licensing or legal requirements. Students are responsible for understanding the laws and regulations in their own jurisdiction. It is legal to enroll at CTU in any US State and most countries around the world. The Master of Cannabis Certification Program has updated cannabis laws for 50 countries around the world.
The program is designed for individuals exploring new cannabis careers, professionals already working in the industry, and business-minded learners who want a structured understanding of how the cannabis industry operates.
