Responsible Vendor Certification

Authorized: Green CulturED is an approved Responsible Vendor Trainer (RVT) certified by Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) (Approval: #RVN453682) to ensure agents receive annual training to remain in compliance.

Massachusetts Cannabis Establishments may now register agents for one of our engaging compliance training that’s required by the CCC. We are dedicated to providing an excellent educational experience for all owners, managers, and employees that are involved in the handling and sale of all cannabis products.

With our four (4) hours of 100% online, web-based training, we meet the annual required Responsible Vendor “Basic Core Curriculum” that contributes towards an agent’s eight (8) hours of mandatory yearly education. Agents are required to attend this training through a certified provider within ninety (90) days of their employment and training is valid for one (1) year so it must be renewed annually.

Massachusetts is one of the first states to mandate industry training for all employees in job roles that involve “touching the plant.” All owners, managers, employees, and agents involved in the handling or sale of cannabis, or any edible-infused products employed by an adult- or medical-use cannabis dispensing organization must complete the required compliance training annually.

Our Responsible Vendor training includes the responsible use of cannabis, laws, and regulations, sale to minor prohibitions, safe storage of cannabis, handling of waste, security requirements, packaging and labeling requirements, safe delivery practices, and all the other required topics. All agents, including all principal officers, must meet all of the training requirements established by Illinois law.

The CCC will oversee this mandate to ensure cannabis companies and all agents comply with the Responsible Vendor training requirements. Per the requirements, all cannabis industry agents that are “touching the plant” must take this specific compliance training every year with a passing score of 70% (or higher grade). This Responsible Vendor Certification maintains compliance while enhancing the safety of customers and employees of cannabis businesses in the Commonwealth.

Basic Core Curriculum

Learn about the potential therapeutic uses, health risks of using cannabis, and effects caused by chemical compounds found in the plant. These different compounds in cannabis are called cannabinoids. You’ll discover how the most prevalent psychoactive cannabinoid is called Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which has various psychological and physiological effects on the body. THC is the only cannabinoid that you know for sure has clear intoxicating effects on its own, but you will learn that other cannabinoids influence how THC affects the body.

You will learn that preventing and detecting diversion within the cannabis industry is a very serious issue. The ability of a business to cultivate, produce, or sell cannabis products can only be done with strict adherence to government regulations. Without complying with cannabis diversion regulations, there’s no chance of legally running a cannabis business without the fear of a forcible shutdown looming in the distance. Another aspect of diversion is checking for valid Identifications (IDs) to confirm age and prevent underage access.

If you have been in the cannabis industry for some time, you are well aware of the METRC “Seed-to-Sale” tracking system, the regulatory cannabis inventory accounting software utilized by governments. If you are not aware of METRC it is a crucial component of compliance for cannabis businesses. With limited resources and a lack of data, governments face extremely high expectations of implementing legalization. Elected government officials and the public demand an effective and comprehensive framework to maintain compliance.

The goal of checking for valid Identifications (IDs) is to confirm age to prevent underage access and stop the legal, financial, and social consequences of underage consumption. This is a huge task given the large and increasing numbers of fake IDs on the market and the ease with which they can be obtained. Quality fake IDs are so like real IDs and it’s hard for those checking IDs to tell the difference if they lack training. And this becomes a big compliance problem since workers don’t know what security features to look for and feel peoples’ IDs.

Basic Core Curriculum means the foundational training curriculum required of all establishment agents taught by a Responsible Vendor Trainer that’s required by law. The mission of the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) is to honor the will of the voters of Massachusetts by implementing and administering the laws enabling access to medical and adult-use marijuana in the commonwealth. The CCC was established and amended by Chapter 55 of the Acts of 2017 which also established the Cannabis Advisory Board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Questions Frequently Asked & Answers Provided for Informational Purposes ONLY By the Massachusetts State Cannabis Control Commission.

When an establishment licensee is designated a "Responsible Vendor"... all new employees involved in the handling and sale of cannabis for adult use must successfully complete a Responsible Vendor Training program within ninety (90) days of hire. After initial successful completion of the training, each owner, manager, and employee will complete the program once every year for the establishment to maintain the designation as a "Responsible Vendor."

Administrative employees who do not handle or sell cannabis may take the "Responsible Vendor" program on a voluntary basis. Establishments that achieve "Responsible Vendor" status must keep records about Responsible Vendor Training program compliance for four (4) years. The training records must also be available for inspection by Commission staff and any other applicable licensing authority if they are requested (during normal business hours).

Proper training is critical... under Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) regulations, agents are required to complete training prior to performing their job functions. Training must be tailored to the roles and responsibilities of each establishment job function, and each agent must receive eight (8) hours of ongoing training annually. The training must include at least four (4) hours of "Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum" by a certified trainer and a total of eight (8) hours annually from the "Responsible Vendor Advanced Core Curriculum" to prepare participants and pass the assessments with a seventy-percent (70%) or better grade.

Responsible Vendor Trainers are independent entities... an owner or employee of a Responsible Vendor Training program cannot have a controlling interest in a licensed establishment, and standards are in place to ensure trainers do not experience conflicts of interest or sell certain services, equipment, or supplies from third parties. Businesses that become certified as Responsible Vendor Trainers must complete an application, which includes copies of the proposed training materials, and have it approved by the Commission.

Responsible Vendor Trainers are required to stay up-to-date on developments in federal and state laws and regulations that affect establishments in order to ensure their training and testing materials are current. Additionally, to remain certified, Responsible Vendor Trainers must submit their training every two (2) years for review and re-approval by the Commission.

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) application asks... for the city and state where the training was taken, we're located in Denver, Colorado in the United States.

Certified Responsible Vendor Training programs must cover... the issues identified by Massachusetts laws and any other topics required by the Commission. The "Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum" must extend at least four (4) hours and prepare participants to pass a written test by achieving a score of seventy percent (70%) or better. Online programs must employ measures to ensure participants cannot skip through any portions of the program. Responsible Vendor Trainers allow Commission staff to visit in-person training without notice and provide opportunities for them to monitor online training programs.

To be certified as a Responsible Vendor Trainer an entity must offer a training program in a real-time, interactive setting, either live or online, in which the instructor is able to verify the identification of each individual participating in the program and certify completion of the program by the identified participant. Such verification procedures will include the scanning of the participant’s current driver’s license or government-issued identification and also maintaining the scanned identification as part of the participant’s record. The test taker will employ measures to ensure the participant’s identification is authentic, and the participant is the same person depicted. Online programs must also take steps to ensure the exact same participant is taking the course throughout and not substituting someone else to complete it.

Within ninety (90) days... the training must be completed within the first ninety (90) days of employment at a licensed business. Training received outside of the ninety (90) day window will not meet the compliance requirements set by the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC).

Annually. Our four (4) hour Responsible Vendor Training program must be completed annually as part of the eight (8) hours that are mandated by the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC).

Participants must pass a written test with a score of 70% or better... participants who cannot speak or write English may be offered a verbal test, but the questions must be the same as those on the written test and the results of the verbal test must be documented with a passing score of 70% or better. Although Responsible Vendor Trainers are encouraged to provide multilingual training, it is not a requirement. The test may be delivered in English.

The Responsible Vendor Trainer must also be able to provide accommodations to disabled participants. Once participants have completed their training, the Responsible Vendor Trainer must provide an evaluation regarding program effectiveness. As a Responsible Vendor Trainer, we review evaluations and make corrections (within CCC’s requirements).

"Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum" means... the foundational training curriculum required of all marijuana establishment agents taught by a Responsible Vendor Trainer. The "Basic Core Curriculum" will cover all of the following required topics in the training:

Each "Responsible Vendor Advanced Core Curriculum" training will be approved prior to being offered and the curriculum will build on the knowledge, skills, and practices covered in the "Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum." A "Responsible Vendor Advanced Core Curriculum" training will include standards and best practices in the following areas:

  • Cannabis Cultivation
  • Product Manufacturing
  • Retail Dispensary
  • Delivery & Transportation
  • Social Consumption
  • Laboratory Science
  • Energy Consumption & Environmental Best Practices
  • Social Justice & Economically Reparative Best Practices

  • Food Safety & Sanitation
  • Confidentiality & Privacy
  • In-depth coverage of any topic(s) taught within the "Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum."

  • Cannabis That's Free of Dirt, Sand, Debris & Other Foreign Matter
  • Cannabis Free Contamination by Mold, Rot, Other Fungus, Pests & Bacterial Diseases & Satisfying Sanitation Requirements

  • Businesses That Develop or Process Edibles Will Meet Prepared, Handled & Stored Sanitary Requirements
  • Proper Product Handling Compliance (unless Commission Authorizes a Colocated Marijuana Operations Being Exempted)

Yes. Provided it meets the training requirements of the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC).

Yes! For example, our Responsible Vendor Training Certification is four (4) hours of total training time, so the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) would still require you will need to complete four (4) hours of extra training to meet the eight (8) hours required annually.

A Responsible Vendor Trainer must maintain its training records... at its principal place of business during the applicable calendar year and for the following three (3) years. The Responsible Vendor Trainer must make the records available for inspection by Commission staff and any other applicable licensing authority upon request during normal business hours. The Responsible Vendor Trainer must also be able to provide written documentation of attendance and successful passage of a test on the training of the curriculum for agents.

Responsible Vendor Trainers are required to be independent... of other establishments. They may, however, require the support of participants in the cannabis industry, including licensees or establishment agents. To preserve the independence of the Responsible Vendor Trainer and prevent misuse, and will control the use of commercial interests in training.

For the purpose of these standards, a “commercial interest” is any entity, or individual affiliated with such entity, that cultivates, manufactures, produces, tests, transports, or sells cannabis, products, or accessories, or supplies services, equipment, or materials to such entities. Commercial support is financial, or in-kind, contributions given by a commercial interest, which is used to pay all or part of the costs of a Responsible Vendor Training activity.

What To Expect

Micro-Learning Format

If You Want to Make Cannabis Easy & Implement Everything You Want to Learn, You're Going to LOVE Our "Micro-Learning" Format That Delivers "Short Bursts" of Training to Easily Learn.

1. Bite-Sized Training

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a place to start or a seasoned industry worker looking to "up-level" your skills, we have everything you need to get stuff DONE in the cannabis industry via a modern "micro-learning" online format.

Our training video content varies in length depending on the topic... allow 15 - 60 minutes to complete each "micro-learning" module. You can choose from any pieces of our training to start building your SOLID foundation of knowledge.

The training levels are for beginner to advanced, they all come with our engaging videos, interactive learning activities, module assessments, and certificates. And we ALWAYS update our training (so you’ll be many steps ahead of all your peers).

2. Passing 70% Grade

Our assessments aren’t tricky, but they do require that you know the information if you want to pass. At the end of each "micro-learning" module, you'll take a very BRIEF assessment to ensure you understand what's covered in that training.

A passing grade of 70% is REQUIRED (for the majority) of our training, and you can retake the assessment as many times as needed to receive a passing grade (includes immediate feedback so you'll know why the answer was correct/wrong).

The assessments are not timed, and they consist of multiple-choice and true/false questions. Ideally, each "micro-learning" module and assessment should be taken in one sitting, but your answers will be SAVED so you can always finish it later.

3. Display Your Credentials

Once you have completed all the required assessments, you will then be able to save, print, or download your certificate and/or a digital badge to SHOW that you have been certified in a new skill. Upon successful completion, you will receive:

  • A printable digital certificate of completion (all training) is suitable for you to frame & is assigned a unique code when ISSUED so it can be validated.

Accessibility Compliant Platform

One of the biggest challenges that learners face today is "accessibility" in their eLearning solutions. Our platform is American Disability Act (ADA), Accessible Canada Act, etc. compliant, and why we started our "Industry Impact Program".

We are sensitive to disabilities so we provide closed-captioning (sub-titles) for hearing-impaired and screen readers for visually-impaired individuals who want to learn. We have worked extensively to MEET these "accessibility" standards.

Our platform is composed of a complex system with many aspects of development that are always evolving so "accessibility" is NOT a state so it's a continuous process of improvement in response to our learners and platform functionality.

Our Mission

We're Green CulturED and we're on a mission. It's simple, but a VERY powerful mission: We will train 1,000,000+ individuals over the next five (5) years on everything there's to know about cannabis and help ensure regulatory compliance, reduce risk, and increase profitability.

If we achieve this mission, we will create 100's of 1,000's opportunities for individuals that will add BILLIONS to the global economy. That's a big deal! It's an important mission and we're "radically committed" since we believe it will change the world, yet we need your help.

Why? We do this because we believe this industry is the most challenging, interesting, and rewarding field there is. And finally, we do it for YOU. In the end, it's our community that matters. We learn from you. We're thankful for you... if you share our vision, let's get started!

Our Values

We Understand the Importance of Being Able to RELY on Your eLearning Solutions & Educational-Technology (Ed-Tech) Provider for All Forms of Support & Help (Yet Never Costly or Un-Needed Advice).

  • Community & Family: 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).

Our Guarantees

Our Customer Satisfaction Guarantee Completely Removes RISK From You & Places it Squarely on Us so if You're Not 100% Satisfied, We'll Promptly Refund Your Enrollment... No Questions Asked.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

At Green CulturED, we guarantee your satisfaction. We guarantee you’re going to love the total eLearning solutions that we're frequently adding new features and training from our Platform Roadmap as requested by our community (and YOU)!

But if at any time during the first 30-days you're unsatisfied with all of our really incredible eLearning solutions you've accessed, let our team know and we'll be HAPPY to process a 100% full refund with no questions asked, so go ahead with:

  • Platform "Test-Driving"... give it a try & report back, if you're not happy with your platform experience, then we'll refund you 100% right away.
  • 100% Safe & Secure Checkout... payment processed through secure merchant gateway networks & we’re very excited to have you join us!

Industry-Leading Support

Green CulturED serves as an "extension to your team" (or as your "personal cheerleader") and working with us is like inheriting a highly-skilled, extremely positive TOTAL eLearning solutions team to support you with our expertise.

Our cannabis industry-leading support team provides a very thoughtful, human response to all your inquiries in two (2) hours or LESS (Monday - Friday business hours). In an industry where a "good" response time is 1 - 2 days (at their best).

You'll see we're very different and how we exercise "extreme ownership" to help support YOU. Our team is determined to provide individualized, very responsive support that you should receive from anyone who is dedicated to your success!

Accessibility Compliant Platform

One of the biggest challenges that learners face today is "accessibility" in their eLearning solutions. Our platform is American Disability Act (ADA), Accessible Canada Act, etc. compliant, and why we started our "Industry Impact Program".

We are sensitive to disabilities so we provide closed-captioning (sub-titles) for hearing-impaired and screen readers for visually-impaired individuals who want to learn. We have worked extensively to MEET these "accessibility" standards.

Our platform is composed of a complex system with many aspects of development that are always evolving so "accessibility" is NOT a state so it's a continuous process of improvement in response to our learners and platform functionality.

Our Mission

We're Green CulturED and we're on a mission. It's simple, but a VERY powerful mission: We will train 1,000,000+ individuals over the next five (5) years on everything there's to know about cannabis and help ensure regulatory compliance, reduce risk, and increase profitability.

If we achieve this mission, we will create 100's of 1,000's opportunities for individuals that will add BILLIONS to the global economy. That's a big deal! It's an important mission and we're "radically committed" since we believe it will change the world, yet we need your help.

Why? We do this because we believe this industry is the most challenging, interesting, and rewarding field there is. And finally, we do it for YOU. In the end, it's our community that matters. We learn from you. We're thankful for you... if you share our vision, let's get started!

Our Values

We Understand the Importance of Being Able to RELY on Your eLearning Solutions & Educational-Technology (Ed-Tech) Provider for All Forms of Support & Help (Yet 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 & Family: 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).

Frequently Asked Questions

Here Are Mastery Certification Questions We Receive Often so You Can Quickly Get Answers to Become a Certified EXPERT & Start Your Ideal Cannabis Career.

No! But, we offer a 90-day "Free Trial" (click here) so you can "test-drive" some of our training and know what to expect in our certifications when it comes to our online "micro-learning" format. If you need your trial to last longer than 90-days or you need more time to test our eLearning solutions... you can always START your free trial again by re-enrolling...

To log into your account, go to the "Training Login" (click here) on our platform and access the eLearning solutions you're enrolled in the Learning Management System (LMS). Put simply, the LMS dashboard is your "homepage" where you have an overview of your training and any activities which may need attention, so you know what to do to continue learning.

If you cannot log in, you can RESET your password from the "Lost your password?" (click here) option on our platform if you do not remember your password or forgot the email address you registered your account under. You should have received a welcome email after registering on our platform and it contains account details for your login information.

Remember, to complete the "Whitelist Instructions" (click here) for our email address. You want to be sure that you are receiving our emails too... otherwise, you might NOT get your certificate and other cool things... they're all sent via email so make sure you receive them...

Yes! Yet... it VARIES so much. For example, we're accredited by Alaska's Marijuana Control Board to provide their "Marijuana Handler Permit," Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide their required "Responsible Vendor" compliance training, and others... see our "About Us" (click here) page for accreditations and memberships.

And 99% of our training applies to ANY country or jurisdiction (ex. Canada, Europe Australia, etc.) since our team publishes all our education "agnostically" (or "white-labeled") so our eLearning solutions really apply to anyone that needs cannabis education... you must understand "English" (our "native language") that's really the only criterion to get started.

Our team is always creating new accredited curricula with our Subject Matter Experts who are industry professionals in their respective fields of study. The industry is still developing and there is no universal accreditation (ex. Department of Education, etc.), but we expect to see this change in the NEAR future and realize the vital role that accreditation plays.

Yes! We provide a total eLearning solution, so you can EASILY train your team in a way that will provide you with a "turn-key" solution for your whole team at an affordable price. It's called "Headquarters" (click here), "HQ" for short, and how we become an "extension of your team" to increase your profitability ($$$), ensure you're compliant, and reduce your risks.

We have clients from dozens of countries around the globe utilizing our eLearning solutions since 99% of our training applies to ANY country (as long as you speak English is our only current limitation). We have been trusted for years by companies around the world and we're endorsed by the leaders that are driving the cannabis industry forward so if there's training missing that you need then we will publish it via our "Platform Roadmap" (click here).

We've built a best-in-class Learning Management System (LMS) that can be customized to your business from one centralized dashboard, allowing you to create learning plans for your teams, then track and assess everyone's activities with analytics. Whether you want your team to perform better, to make better STRATEGIC decisions, or new staff to learn quickly... they will be equipped with credible knowledge and industry skills needed for your business.

It depends! Being an expert is the industry's most valuable ASSET. It will create meaningful relationships with your peers and develop your knowledge to apply new skills. Proper training pays for itself over time and what you will learn makes you truly irreplaceable.

Our training itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition in the cannabis industry. What's far MORE valuable than any certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you're going to receive when you take our training and pass all the assessments. You will learn everything about cannabis that you need to know, and we'll say that again:

You will KNOW the cannabis industry, but it really depends on who you are...

  • If you're a "cannabis lover," this training will set you apart from others who merely have read information online or have no cannabis knowledge, it is specialized training that you want today and lovingly seek to learn more about cannabis.
  • If you're an industry professional, we can help set you apart from your peers and make you more valuable to your company. This is the surest way to get a raise or promotion that you likely already deserve (but don't have a tangible reason to ask).
  • If you provide ancillary services, our eLearning solutions are a tangible way to show that you understand and know the industry, which helps you attract better, higher-paying clients to bolster your revenue and make a "bottom-line" impact.
  • If you're a manager or business owner, this training is a great way to learn on-demand for yourself. We are your "Headquarters" (click here) and a great way to train team members so they're up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.

If you want to become a professional... our certifications will set you apart from the pack. Unlike everyone else who simply calls themselves a "cannabis expert," you’ll have the certificate and the badge to PROVE it, from a source that the cannabis industry trusts.

More importantly, it will make you a better cannabis expert. Why? Because you’re receiving the EXACT same training you would receive working at Green CulturED (and without tooting our horn too much, we’re pretty good at doing this stuff for the industry every day)!

And we held nothing back. These are the same systems and strategies our internal team uses to create industry-leading training that generates EXPERTS and then converts them into professionals, directed by our Subject Matter Experts and Instructional Design team (the people in charge of all things eLearning at Green CulturED). So, if you want to start:

  • Enhancing your career or starting a new completely new one
  • Learning the latest and greatest strategies & tactics (that actually work)
  • Expanding your skill-set & set yourself apart from the competition
  • Wanting to jump to a higher pay grade (or promotion at your work)
  • These mastery certifications are made just for you...

If you're a business owner or team leader... maybe you don't need the certification. But what about your team? Do you know for a FACT that they're up-to-speed on all the latest and greatest cannabis industry developments? If you're not sure, or if you just want them to receive the exact same training that our team receives, then get them certified today!

They'll love the fact that you're investing in them, and you'll love the fact that they're performing at the highest level possible for your company. Also, there's no rule that you have to sit for the assessment. If the training is more IMPORTANT to you than certifications, then just take the training and look at everything else as an optional extra (but we recommend taking them just to make sure you're fully grasping all the concepts that are being taught).

Oh yeah, and if you're working in the industry as a cannabis professional, then you already know how important certifications are to distancing yourself from the competition. And who knows? It might even HELP you claim higher wages for the work you're already doing. Either way, if you expect the best for your company, then our certifications are definitely for you!

Yes! It is 100% legal and you may enroll in our training regardless of the country in which you currently reside since we're based in the United States and we are all protected by the First Amendment (Freedom of Speech). Regardless of location, it is legal to learn about cannabis and we have learners enrolling every single day since our training applies to ANY country.

Taking our eLearning solutions, really, is the same as shopping on Amazon.com, eBay.com, or any place where you can legally purchase cannabis-related books, DVDs, magazines, or guides... so it is 100% legal to learn from us anywhere you are located on planet earth...

Yes! One of the biggest challenges that learners face today is "Accessibility" in their eLearning solutions and why we started our "Industry Impact Program" (click here) to make this change. Unlike most of our competitors (which do have great content), we are VERY different and sensitive to disabilities so we provide closed-captioning (sub-titles) for hearing-impaired and screen readers for those visually-impaired who want to learn about cannabis.

Our platform is composed of a complex system with many parts and its development is always evolving so "Accessibility" is NOT a state. It is a process of continuous improvement in response to our learners and our wider technical environment. We have worked extensively to meet "Accessibility" standards. Here are the details of how we meet those requirements:

  • United States: "American Disability Act" (Section 508) is required so that information and technology are accessible for anyone with disabilities.
  • Canada: "Accessible Canada Act" aims to benefit all citizens, especially those individuals with disabilities, by helping to create barrier-free accessibility.
  • Europe (EU): "European Accessibility Act" used by EU governments and universities, aims to improve trade and remove country-specific rules.
  • Australia: "Disability Discrimination Act" applies to organizations developing online resources so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities.
  • WCAG 2.0: Used when deciding how to present content for the best web accessibility, these guidelines are always followed when we develop any media.
  • ATAG 2.0: Guidelines to construct content (as well as consuming online content) and help to improve the accessibility of the media that our team produces.
  • ARIA 1.0: As many parts of the user interface are dynamic and interactive, we follow these recommendations to utilize assistive technologies (ex. screen-readers).

Interactive! Our training is designed in a "micro-learning" format that is typically completed in less than a one (1) hour period, but you will find some longer ones too. "Micro-learning" is a HOLISTIC approach for skill-based learning that deals with relatively small learning units that are short-term-focused strategies specifically designed for skill-based training needed. We always recommend trying our "Free Trial" (click here) to get an idea of our online format.

And our team of educational-technologist, Instructional Designers, and Subject Matter Experts (SME's) strive to provide you with the best industry training and eLearning solutions available. With their peer-reviewed citations as leading experts, scientists, doctors, and educators... we always provide the best learning experience. Request new training on our "Platform Roadmap" (click here) or VOTE on current ones contributed by our community.

It varies... there are never any type of time limitations and training is always happening because it is 100% online, so you can start whenever you like. Our certifications VARY in length, but all of our "micro-learning" modules are video-based training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically try to complete it all in one day (although this is not recommended and sometimes not possible with the length of some our certification).

To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 7 - 14 days if you are working full-time, and 14 - 30 days if you taking the certification part-time. Typically, our enrollment duration for MOST of our training is one (1) year enrollment duration (unless it's noted otherwise). You will always be able to learn at your own pace, start, and stop at any time!

Even though many different governments have specific time requirements for compliance training, there is no time limit to complete our training. You can work at your own PACE without having to worry about losing your enrollment and any time frame listed to complete the training is average since it varies person-to-person and your own personal experience.

For many learners who are well-versed in the subject matter, they can get through training at a much faster pace, and those that need to review the material can do so without having to feel PRESSURED about completing in a specific time frame or achieving specific competency.

Satisfyingly enough... you'll find that our assessments are "satisfyingly difficult." By that we mean, it's difficult enough that you need to actually KNOW the materials, but it isn't tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. The majority of our training requires a 70% passing grade in order to complete (unless noted) and your certificate is immediately issued.

That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the assessments challenging and the questions pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn't expect to be able to pass just because you have taken other training... we are VERY different compared to our competitors and our assessments will reflect those differences.

Yes! If you do not receive a passing grade (typically 70% or above is required) you may retake the assessment an unlimited number of times. After each failed attempt, you will receive immediate FEEDBACK why it was wrong and provide you with some additional learning.

No! A certificate of completion and a digital badge that can simply be purchased isn't WORTH the paper it's printed on. That's why our eLearning solutions can be challenging. If we're going to allow you to display anything that is issued by us, then you better believe you're going to have to apply yourself in order to earn it and to display it as your proof!

Not at the moment... right now the cost for the certifications vary and we have government compliance reporting requirements for our ACCREDITED industry training. This may change in the future, at which time we may allow non-certification candidates to audit all of our certifications at a discounted rate, but the tuition cost will never be lower than what is listed.

Easily! You or anyone can verify the authenticity of your certificate by going to the "Verify Certificate" tool (click here) using the unique code found on your certificate. Your certificates are assigned a unique code to VERIFY it in our Learning Management System (LMS) that way anyone can validate it by entering the custom code displayed to confirm its authenticity.

Remember, that you can always access your issued certificate(s) from your account in our LMS, under the "More" section (click here) in your profile. It is possible that you may complete several pieces of training - each with their OWN certificate - it would be time-consuming to visit every course to download all your certificates that have been issued.

To avoid this, on your profile, you can view all the certificates that have been issued to you. Go to your profile page under "Miscellaneous" and click on "My Certificates" which will take you to your ISSUED certificates and you can simply download them all at one (1) time.

It's simple! We utilize Badgr’s industry-leading credentialing solution to issue our digital badges so you can take your credentials with you, wherever you go, building a rich PICTURE of your lifelong learning journey that you have had training in cannabis industry.

You can easily share your digital badge on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and there are two (2) different ways you can share with LinkedIn - as a post to your profile's "Feed" or to the "Certifications" section. To enable Badgr (click here), you first need to create an account on then you will be able to CONNECT by going through the following steps to get started:

  1. In the user menu (top right), select "Preferences," then "Backpack Settings" under "Badges" (click here) in your account on our platform.
  2. Enter your Badgr user account email and password.
  3. Look in your mailbox for a verification email so you can copy and paste the link to verify the connection to your account on our platform.

You can share badges on social media (click here) from the "Award Email" you receive or from your backpack since it provides ways to SHARE badges ("URL Link" and "Embed Code").

Monthly! But don’t feel like you have to consume everything the moment it’s released... everything NEW that we create is published from the "Platform Roadmap" (click here) into our certifications, so there’s no rush or pressure to access it in "real-time." Think of us as your always-available, training library... there's a reason why we're called "Netflix for Cannabis"...

Of course! We provide access to resume writing services so you can be ready to apply for posted job openings when you are browsing through available positions in the cannabis industry. The industry is currently BOOMING around the world and now is the time to get involved in the fastest growing industry that is happening on planet earth right now.

There are numerous career opportunities opening on job boards or career websites every day. We always recommend checking locally too since the industry is RAPIDLY growing, you will never know what cannabis industry opportunities that will be in your own backyard.

Kind of... at this time, no scholarships or financial aid are available, but we do always provide scholarships through our "Industry Impact Program" (click here) to make an IMPACT for anyone who has a disability or military service. We are all about empowering people to get involved in a way that truly inspires and makes them excited to get out of bed in the morning!

But we have priced our training so that they are affordable to everyone interested in the cannabis industry, especially compared to similar education that is available. We believe that cannabis can be about much MORE than just earning profits - it can also be the ultimate lever for making a difference in the world's most exciting industry that is happening right now.

Hello [Team Leader/Supervisor Name], I know our mission is to educate everyone on our team on how to succeed working, seemly "change" and "compliance" seem to be the only things 100% "consistent". From my research, I found Green CulturED and they provide a total eLearning solution for the cannabis industry, you can check out their "Free Trial" training...
Free Trial: www.GreenCulturED.co/Get-Started We're really in the business of "compliance", we need to ensure that every person has the cannabis expertise they need to succeed in their job... so they may help? They're accredited or authorized by all gov't regulators (ex. Colorado MED, Mass CCC, West Virginia OMC, Alaska AMCO, etc.), and would be our 1-stop shop. All of the new talent we hire for our teams are working in a fast-growing industry and have very little experience or knowledge, nor get enough cannabis training. I think this may help our organization quite a bit, but what do you think? Thanks again for your time, [Your Full Name] P.S. They also have "Live Events" that are happening specifically for all types of government compliance training for safety (OSHA, EPA, CCOHS, etc. required): Live Events: www.GreenCulturED.co/Live-Events

Hey there [Team Leader/Supervisor Name], Call me crazy, but it would have made my onboarding simpler if I had a little more training when I first started, it would've been easier to "hit the ground running". I was checking out options, and the best solution that I've seen so far is the offerings from Green CulturED, here's a "Free Trial" so you can get an idea of it:
Free Trial: www.GreenCulturED.co/Get-Started Onboarding is critical to engage with our new hires, set them up for success, then accelerate training all the "compliance stuff" they'll need to know from day #1. If you have a moment, I think you'll find their solutions will help to significantly reduce costs, increase productivity, and decrease turnover rate (a huge issue). This should give us some help we desperately need to "fix" the turnover rate in our industry and keep our team around longer to scale our growing operations. Do you mind trying the "Free Trial"? Before it gets lost in the shuffle of things... Talk about it soon, [Your Full Name] P.S. If you have an extra 5-seconds, you may want to check out their very cool "Platform Roadmap", it shows upcoming features (we can add/vote on it too): Platform Roadmap: www.GreenCulturED.co/Platform-Roadmap

Message Body:

Good day [Team Leader/Supervisor Name], Today I was online and tried out a "Free Trial" training from Green CulturED to see what their training was like, but I wanted to see if you wanted to check it out now? I know you're very busy, but here's the direct link to make it easier for you to quickly check them out, I wanted to you saw this to get an idea of what they do...
Free Trial: www.GreenCulturED.co/Get-Started I'm really serious about taking my career in the cannabis industry to the "next level" and I need more training, so I think this is my ideal first step to start that. Not only did it work from my "Free Trial", but they do also provide solutions that can be customized, this is the #1 option with a realistic expectation of results. If you have a moment, check out their "Free Trial" to review... I'm not sure if it will be available much longer, grab your free course while it’s still fresh on your mind. But, what do you think about potentially using their eLearning solutions? Thank you for your consideration, [Your Full Name] P.S. I almost forgot... they're continuously releasing new training, they always update their roadmap with request training, you can keep an eye on what's new: New Training: www.GreenCulturED.co/category/Platform-Updates
