CANNABIS INDUSTRY 101
Gauteng
(full time 3 MONTH course +
1 month internship)

This course is designed for anyone wanting an entry point into the cannabis industry and for those in the industry looking to formalise their knowledge.  It covers growing from seed to harvest where students will germinate in the first week and harvest in the last. Students will learn about the medical benefits of cannabis and how it interacts with our bodies - our medical curriculum is delivered in partnership with our US partner Medical Marijuana 411 - the world leader in medical cannabis training.

We believe in holistic education and the course will also cover the cannabis industry value chain, the ecosphere,  entrepreneurship, project management skills and personal development training.  We facilitate a blended learning model where we combine in-class training with practical hands on training and e-learning.  

Internship:
There is no better way to test and solidify ones knowledge than getting hands on in the industry. We place our students in a one month internship with a cannabis company to ensure they can expand their knowledge and begin to network in the industry.

Monthly field trips:
Each month we take our students on a cannabis industry outing to experience the coal face of the industry. We have a partnership with CBD Full Spectrum who are a SAHPRA licensed cannabis farm 15 mins from the campus.  This gives our students real time exposure to the workings of an operating cannabis farm.

Our beautiful campus is only 40 mins from the centre of Johannesburg in Vereeniging and has on site accommodation for 190 students.
