MCC is pleased to continue our collaboration with cannabis education and training leader Green Flower, to offer Cannabis Career Certificates.
Our Cannabis Career Certificates train people for in-demand roles in the cannabis
industry, with specialization tracks in cultivation, product development, medical
cannabis, compliance, and retail and sales.
You'll learn from top industry leaders who’ve built and scaled successful licensed
operations, and upon completion, gain access to the Cannabis Career Resource Center,
which provides you with ongoing professional development training, job-search tools,
and an engaged community to help you land your next role, grow as a leader, or launch
your own cannabis venture.
These certificates come in two levels, giving you one credential to prove industry
readiness and another to stand out in your chosen sector:
- Cannabis Associate Certificate (8 weeks, $850) – A foundational course to help you understand how the cannabis industry really works,
covering cannabis policy, plant science, industry sectors, and compliance essentials.
This program makes you job-ready for entry-level roles across the industry in just
8 weeks.
- Cannabis Specialist Certificates (16 weeks, $2,200 each) – Each Specialist program includes the eight-week Associate course plus eight more weeks of advanced training in high-growth job sectors. Choose your track – Cannabis Cultivation, Retail & Sales, Compliance, Product Development, or Medical Cannabis – and earn two credentials: the Cannabis Associate Certificate and your chosen Cannabis Specialist Certificate.
