The Cannabis College of America has made a groundbreaking move in the field of cannabis education with the successful launch of its online platform. Officially inaugurated on April 20, 2025, this initiative aims to set a new gold standard for training in the burgeoning cannabis industry. Driving this ambitious project is Larry Nagle, a lifelong advocate of cannabis, whose vision is to cultivate skilled professionals ready to enter the workforce in this rapidly expanding market.
With a mission to provide a comprehensive educational experience, the Cannabis College of America is not just about cultivating plants; it's about nurturing careers. In the words of Nagle, "At the Cannabis College of America, our greatest product is our graduates." The curriculum is tailored to meet the demands of an evolving industry, and it includes five specialized programs, each meticulously designed to address essential aspects of cannabis and hemp development:

All courses are taught by industry professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. The unique teaching structure involves a maximum ratio of 10 students per instructor, using an interactive Zoom platform that fosters live engagement between students and instructors, allowing for real-time Q&A sessions. Not only do students complete the courses with practical skills, but they also receive degrees or Certificates of Completion that enhance their credentials.
