Canada’s First Cannabis Post Secondary Diploma Programs

November 13 22:25 2018
The programs are Canada’s first post-secondary diploma credentials in industrial cannabis production technology, cannabis QA and QC. These programs will prepare students for successful careers in the rapidly growing cannabis industry in Canada.

Toronto, ON – 13 November, 2018 – The introduction of the program is the result of extensive consultation that NACPT Pharmaceutical College has conducted with Licensed Producers and cannabis related industries such as cannabis cosmetic, edibles, medical device, testing laboratories, research and development over the past several years. As the result of the consultations, we realized that there is a growing demand for highly skilled and expertly trained professionals to lead and guide Canada’s emerging cannabis sector. Students in the Industrial Cannabis Production Technology and Cannabis Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs will also benefit from these strong connections between NACPT Pharma College and industry leading licensed producers of cannabis. Since announcing the program, the College has formed partnerships with several industry leading licensed producers such as Canabox Inc., Canacraffed Inc., Green Amber Canada and many more – partnerships that have opened doors for internships and work placement opportunities for students.

Both Cannabis diploma programs will also provide training on the complex regulatory framework that governs the industry in Canada. “The education and training in the booming cannabis industry is essential to anyone who wants to start a business or develop an interesting career in an industry which will not be easily saturated for another century,” said NACPT Pharma College president Rathi Param. “The newly created jobs in cannabis space are in high demand and there are shortages of skilled workforce in the industry. Licensed producers are struggling to find skilled workers to fulfill their hiring needs. We’re pleased today to celebrate a pioneering moment for NACPT Pharma College, and for postsecondary cannabis diploma education in Canada.”

NACPT Pharma College’s Industrial Cannabis Production Technology (Graduate diploma) and Cannabis Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs are open to applicants who possess a diploma or degree in the areas of horticulture, greenhouse technology, agricultural sciences, plant sciences, biology, chemistry or a related discipline.

NACPT Pharma College offers many healthcare related post graduate diploma, diploma, and fast track certificate training programs in pharmaceutical, bio-technology, food, cosmetic, nurtaceutical, medical devices, cannabis programs, engineering and other related sectors.
