87% of our graduates are employed in the cannabis industry within 90 days—earning 30-40% more than non-certified peers.
This course made me feel extremely inspired. As a medical user, I never realized how much I didn't know. So thank you, Adolfo and Julie, for your in-depth and engaging program! It was awesome
My experience with the CannaReps Level 1 Sommelier course was very good! I was able to learn at my own pace, while still connecting with other students and Adolfo through the continuing education settings. I have learned so much about what to look for in quality Cannabis and I have been able to use that knowledge to help the younger staff members at my store (where I am the Assistant Manager and Lead Budtender), grow in their own knowledge and confidence."
"As a retail store owner, the course not only taught me the value of knowledge, it also gave me a number of ideas to implement. I look forward to expanding my horizons in all areas.
My knowledge and confidence has increased. I could have only gained this by working in a dispensary for a year or taking your course for 3 days. Great value.
As a cannabis advocate and a pharmacist, I never thought I was going to learn so much and in such a high level of technicality.
