In a statement on its website (“New Cannabis Production Program Launched” on May 1, 2018), the college says the new program is called Cannabis Production Program – Level 1.
The program includes four online courses, which are followed by a two-week field study where students will obtain hands-on experience at Sundial Growers Inc., an approved licensed producer of medical cannabis, and Terra Life Sciences, a company that produces pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medications and premium grade wellness products.
The four online courses are called:
- Introduction to Horticulture Production
- Introduction to Crop Production and Facilities
- Cannabis Legislation and Documentation
- Horticulture for Cannabis Production
Olds College says registration opened on May 1, 2018 for the program with delivery starting July 3, 2018.
The program prepares students for employment in cannabis production. Students can expect to gain entry-level, job-based training with hands-on experience.
The college says it’s also developing a second Continuing Education course called Cannabis Retail Advisor, which will be available this fall.
