This program provides a comprehensive blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to operate effectively and compliantly within the cannabis industry.
This certification caters to a broad audience, including employees, managers, and agents working in diverse areas such as dispensaries, cultivation centers, and testing laboratories. Participants will explore a wide range of subjects, starting with the science of cannabinoids and their interactions with the human body, providing a strong foundation in both pharmacological and physiological principles.
Scientific understanding is complemented by detailed coverage of DC’s medical cannabis laws, focusing on the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010, federal cannabis laws, and compliance protocols that ensure lawful operations within the district. The curriculum emphasizes practical application, equipping participants to handle real-world situations like verifying patient eligibility, managing patient interactions, and conducting thorough age verification to prevent unauthorized access.

This dynamic and immersive approach ensures that learners are not only well-versed in theoretical concepts but also capable of applying this knowledge to enhance everyday operations, drive customer satisfaction, and maintain a culture of compliance.
Washington, DC’s Medical Cannabis Employee Certification mandates that applicants complete training through a program approved by the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA).
The initial certification is valid for one (1) year and requires annual renewal. Renewing the certification involves retaking the training through an ABCA-approved program to ensure that knowledge remains current and aligned with updated laws and best practices.
