Who Are We?
The Green CulturED team is based around the world and we were founded in 2012 “at the beginning” of the cannabis industry in Denver, Colorado. We serve the cannabis industry by developing and maintaining standardized credentials that generate value for cannabis learners, industry professionals, and owner-operators.
At the simplest level, Green CulturED helps the cannabis industry find all the best training in one place to scale their knowledge and/or business operations while getting more work done faster. At a deeper level, Green CulturED is helping power the new skills-based economy.
What does that mean? It’s simple: In the past, credentials were all that mattered. You got the degree, then you got the job. Today, smart companies recognize that skills, not merely credentials, are what matters, causing a shift to on-the-job training and apprenticeship.

Accreditations & Authorizations
Our “Claim-to-Fame” Is Being The Most Accredited (or Authorized) Training Provider In The Industry To ENSURE What We Do Actually Meets ALL Those Never-Ending Regulator Requirements.
Core Values
We Understand the Importance of Being Able to RELY on Your eLearning Solutions & Educational-Technology (Ed-Tech) Provider for All Forms of Help & Support (Never Costly or Un-Needed Advice).
What We Do...
- Working Together: Know that we're more than just an eLearning provider... we're your partner for any & all training solutions you NEED for your business.
- Problem Solvers: Our team is some of the best & brightest eLearning experts, we bring a wealth of skills to the table so we can SOLVE your challenges.
- High-Touch Support: From onboarding to continued support, we are consistently attentive & prompt... simply put, we're ALWAYS there when you need us.
- Community & Industry: Our team & clients make one big happy family so we understand the importance of working TOGETHER to achieve your business goals.
- Communication & Transparency: We cultivate STRONG working relationships with our clients via candid communication & "high touch" collaboration.
What We Don't Do...
- Vendor-Lock: We use open-source technologies so if we're not delivering the very best service... you can CANCEL at any time (so you can leave us anytime).
- Bad Decisions: eLearning decisions many times are uneducated, but you have us as an "extension of your team" so we WON'T offer you unnecessary options.
- Limited Options: Other providers don't typically use an enterprise Learning Management System (LMS)... so you'll have unlimited solutions working with us.
- Closed-Source: We believe in transparency (open-source) & use separate code-bases for our clients so you'll only see what's MEANINGFUL to your team.
- Hidden Costs: There can easily be hidden costs with other providers to unlock functionality that you NEED in your eLearning solutions (but not with us).
