What is the difference between Ganjier Product Specialist and Certified Ganjier?

The Ganjier Product Specialist is a “master of cannabis products”. As such, the program focuses primarily on cannabis product knowledge, consumption, and an introduction to sensory based quality assessment. The Certified Ganjier is a “cannabis sommelier”, trained in the history, genetics, cultivation, sales, service, and the Systematic Assessment Protocol®. Accordingly, the Certified level of the Ganjier program provides a significantly deeper level of instruction including over 35 hours of online curriculum, 2-days of hands-on in person skills training in Humboldt with members of the Ganjier Council, and 3 rigorous in person exams.
