In the tradition of the wine sommelier, cigar aficionado or master chocolatier, Ganjier is a first-of-its-kind rigorous, multi-tiered, comprehensive cannabis trade certification training, created and taught by the most respected names in the field with the sole intent of producing an entirely new class of cannabis professional – the Ganjier.
Enrollment into the 2024 cohort is currently open until December 31st. Click HERE to enroll now!
Everyone is welcome to apply and begin their journey towards becoming a Ganjier. There are currently nearly three hundred Certified Ganjiers around the globe!
However, to become a Certified Ganjier requires commitment, in addition to a keen sense of smell and taste.
If you have known issues or problems with your sense of smell and / or taste, this may impact your ability to pass the Assessment exam. Having the ability to be trained to accurately assess the qualitative and desirable aspects of cannabis is a critical component of becoming a Certified Ganjier. If you are unable to pass any of the three exams, including the Assessment exam, you will NOT be awarded certification.
To become a Certified Ganjier, you must successfully complete all 3 steps in the Certification process within 12 months from the date of your enrollment:
Step 1 – Complete the Online Training
Step 2 – Attend the In-Person Training
Step 3 – Successfully Pass all three in-person exams
Combining online coursework, tutorials, hands-on training, written and skill exams and an exclusive Systematic Assessment Protocol (The SAP) Ganjier will equip you with the skills and knowledge few in the industry (even the most seasoned veterans) possess.
The Ganjier Certification is a self-paced study program. You may complete all three steps at any time, provided it is within 12 months from the date of your enrollment.
Yes. Due to the Live Training aspect of the curriculum, as well as the three in-person certification tests, travel to Humboldt County, California, USA will be necessary to complete your certification. Please note, travel expenses are NOT included in the tuition fee and are the sole responsibility of the student.
Our 2-day, expert-led, in-person training sessions are held monthly on our spectacular 250 acre campus located in the heart of California’s “Emerald Triangle” region from May-October.

Green Flower, the global leader in cannabis education, worked in partnership with the Ganjier Council, 18 of the cannabis industry’s most respected and brilliant minds spanning disciplines from cultivation to concentrates, chemistry to commerce, to develop the standards, curriculum, tools, and testing that powers the rigorous Ganjier Certification.
Drawing structure and inspiration from well-established wine, beer, chocolate, and cigar Certification Programs, Ganjier was developed over multiple years with volunteer participation from the esteemed Ganjier Council — 18 experts who collectively hold over 600 years of cannabis experience, contributing more than 8,000 hours of development time.
The Ganjier program is available to anyone around the globe. We’ve hosted students from all over the world, including…Germany, Italy, Australia, Chile, France, Mexico, Canada, Columbia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, Thailand, Israel, Moldova, Guam, and more.
The initial step towards becoming a Certified Ganjier is the online portion of our curriculum. However, there are three steps to becoming a Certified Ganjier:
Step 1 – Complete the Online Training
Step 2 – Attend the 2-day, In-person, expert led Live Training
Step 3 – Pass the In-Person Written, Service, and SAP™ Exam
All three steps must be completed within 12 months from the date of your enrollment
There are several core differences.
The Ganjier program has been modeled after the top sommelier schools.
There are three steps to become a Certified Ganjier:

Step 3 – Pass the In-Person Written, Service, and SAP™ Exams
The Ganjier program has been specifically tailored to equip the student with the knowledge and skills to be a “cannabis sommelier”, a Ganjier.
As an example, while we have a “cultivation” course in this program, it is not designed to teach the student how to grow cannabis. The cultivation course teaches the student about each of the decisions that the grower makes that affect the end quality of the flower. We discuss the qualitative differences between sungrown vs lamp grown, chemical vs organic / living soil, drying only vs drying and curing, etc.
Each of the courses in the initial level of the Ganjier curriculum have been tailored to train “a master of cannabis service”, someone who will be a trusted and reliable guide for the cannabis consumer.
The curriculum was developed by the Ganjier Council, 18 of the most respected experts in the cannabis industry with over 600 years of collective cannabis knowledge, experience, and expertise. The Ganjier Council was established to guide, validate, and endorse the accuracy, validity, and rigor of the Ganjier Certification Program.
The Ganjier program, along with the 18 experts in the Ganjier Council, was developed under Green Flower. Green Flower, the leader in cannabis education for nearly 7 years, currently boasts having it’s curriculum offered in over thirty colleges and universities across the US, including some within the highly regarded University of California system, University of Arizona, Syracuse, and LSU.
Green Flower incurs significant expense in administering the Certified Ganjier program.
