Cannabis Education Center's Responsible Vendor Training program is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), which is internationally recognized as the highest standard in certificate program quality.
The course provides an online instructional experience for employees who sell, handle or transport cannabis for a medical dispensary or retail store. This includes budtenders, salespersons, managers, transporters and other vendors who must complete ANAB-accredited training to work in the cannabis industry.
Our Cannabis Responsible Vendor Training course was second in the nation to receive accreditation under ASTM D8403-21 — a new standard ANAB created for the cannabis and hemp industries. Not all cannabis training providers offer courses that meet this standard.
Throughout this training, students will learn about laws, regulations and industry standards for safe and responsible cannabis sales. Upon successful course completion, they can instantly download their completion certificate. Certificates are valid for one year after the issue date, and retraining is typically required annually.
