Why Industry Credentials are Important

In today’s competitive cannabis market, industry credentials can set you apart from the competition. Whether you’re looking to get hired by a cannabis company or want to start your own business, industry credentials give you the cannabis skills you need to succeed.

Find a Cannabis Career

While industry certification is not a requirement for any cannabis job, industry credentials can showcase your passion, knowledge, and commitment to the industry. Certifications from a renowned training program are an excellent addition to your resume and cover letter.

Learn How to Start a Weed Business

Cannabis rules and regulations vary by state and municipality. In addition, rules can change fast. Cannabis industry certification gives you up-to-date information on how you can apply for a business license, get financing, remain state-compliant, and stand out from the competition.

Find a Reputable Cannabis Training Institute

In this relatively new industry, there is no standardized cannabis certification program. Students must choose from a wide range of educational institutions, including public colleges and universities and online-based training institutes like CTU.

Traditional College and University

An increasing number of universities and colleges are now offering cannabis degrees and courses on cannabis law, business, cultivation, chemistry, biology, science, and more. Cannabis certificates can cost a couple of thousand dollars, while 2- and 4-year programs can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Cannabis certifications and programs usually focus on a single subject.

Online Industry Training

Online industry training is an affordable alternative to traditional higher learning institutes. CTU offers the best value compared to other online cannabis programs. We offer a wide range of courses covering cannabis business, law, medicine, careers, cooking, extraction, and cultivation. Students have 12 weeks of access to the course content and eight e-books written by Ed Rosenthal, legendary author, grower, and activist.

Explore an Area of Interest

A major part of getting a good cannabis education is knowing why you want to pursue higher education and what your areas of interest are. 

Are you an entrepreneur looking for potential areas of investment in the cannabis industry?

Are you an established authority in your industry looking to make a career change toward cannabis?

Are you a user who dreams of working in the cannabis industry?

Depending on your objective, the training institute and courses you choose will vary.

Learn from Home – Tips for Success

Once you sign up for cannabis education, it's time to create a tentative schedule and figure out how you plan to complete the program. While online learning offers the ultimate flexibility, it requires self-directed learning.

Here are a few tips to help you with online learning:

• Set up a distraction-free learning environment
• Set apart time blocks during the days you are free to create a routine/schedule and make learning more manageable. 
• Explore supplemental learning resources to gain a better understanding of the material.
• Reward yourself throughout the experience after passing a quiz or completing a large section.

Get CTU Certified
