FAQs
Everyone over the age of 18 years is welcome to apply to begin their journey towards becoming a Ganjier. We have students from all over the globe who have enrolled and attended our live training sessions in Humboldt County, California.
It is strongly recommended that all candidates have a significant amount of existing cannabis experience.
However, to become a Certified Ganjier requires 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.
Not yet. There are “3 steps” to becoming a certified Ganjier: 1) Complete the Online Curriculum, 2) Attend the 2-Day Live Training, and 3) Pass the in-person exams on Knowledge, Service, and Assessment. The Online Curriculum satisfies the initial stage requirement for Ganjier certification, and includes one-year access to the SAP App.
One Step at a Time includes the following steps to become a Certified Ganjier:
