pay 2023 prices when signing up for 2024 before 5 dec 2023!

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. 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 mindfulness.  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 4 week internship with a cannabis company to ensure they can expand their knowledge and begin to network in the industry.

Field trips:
The course includes three field trips where we take our students on a cannabis industry outing to experience the coal face of the industry. We have a partnership with Hempvest as well as Druids Garden who are SAHPRA licensed cannabis farms.  This gives our students real time exposure to the workings of an operating cannabis farm.

Location:
Our beautiful campus with an indoor growing facility is only 5 mins from Sandton City (Gautrain) and the N1 highway and within walking distance to restaurants and shops.

For our outdoor practical learning we have partnered with the iconic Jazzfarm in Lanseria - 25 minutes from the campus. The Jazzfarm is the home to the world renowned Cannabis activism non-profit organisation Fields of Green for All and Myrtle Clarke from the Dagga Couple and students will spend time there each week getting their hands dirty and honing their growing skills in our grow tunnel and permaculture gardens.

Accreditation:
Our course is endorsed by the University of Limpopo / Edupark and on successful completion of the course our students will be awarded with a certificate of completion from the university.
Our Medical content is accredited in several USA states by our Medical Cannabis partner Medical Marijuana 411.
