How did you learn about cannabis? For many, it’s through first-hand experiences, or maybe you had a more seasoned user show you the ropes.

The reality is our industry severely lacks standardized education on cannabis. And that makes perfect sense, considering the stigma attached to the plant is still lingering, and some places around the world don’t want you to use it or explore it for educational purposes.

Although the stigma is still around, our industry has made monumental moves to leave the errs and wrongs of prohibition in the past. Even if you live in a region where cannabis is illegal, you’ve likely heard more about the plant in recent years than ever before.

If you’re looking to sharpen your canna craft, learn more about it, and get industry-recognized certifications so you can thrive, look to Trichome Institute.

Apply this information to your home cooking, or use it to build your career as a cannabis chef.

Interpening: Cannabis Sommelier Certification

Here’s where the courses start getting a little more specific. Impressively, this is the world’s first cannabis sommelier program.

Here, you will be equipped with the knowledge to evaluate flower quality and predict effects without lab testing. This is a course for those yearning to become true cannabis connoisseurs.

Interpeners identify the quality and effects of cannabis by evaluating the plant without any further details. You’ll have to make the correct assumptions based on the traits, characteristics, aromas, and presentations of each flower.

Extraction & Concentrates

This course teaches you the fundamentals of different extraction methods, how to tell the quality of a concentrate, and other essential techniques.

It’s a fantastic resource for dispensary staff looking to make correct product recommendations for consumers or individuals looking to understand cannabis extraction techniques for future jobs.

Cannabis Consultant Training

Cannabis Consultant Traning (CCT) is another valuable resource for dispensaries, but also for entrepreneurs and consultants. This course provides product and sales training to ensure your consumers are well taken care of.

Whether you’re developing relationships with ancillary organizations or a medical professional working directly with cannabis patients, this course provides all the knowledge you need to maintain relationships in the industry. It ensures you’re well-educated on the subject and know how to execute sales with the proper techniques and product knowledge.

Dispensary Training

This Dispensary Training program offers four of the above courses:

• Professional Interpening
• Extraction & Concentrates
• Cooking With Cannabis

With these courses under your belt, your staff will have the means to help you be the best dispensary in town.
