Green CulturED serves as an “extension to your team” (or as your “personal coach”) and working with us is like inheriting a highly-skilled, extremely positive TOTAL eLearning solutions team to support you with our cannabis industry expertise.
Our cannabis industry-leading support team provides a very thoughtful, human response to all your inquiries in two (2) hours or LESS (Monday – Friday business hours). In an industry where a “good” response time is 1 – 2 days (at their best).
You’ll see we’re very different and how we exercise “extreme ownership” to help support YOU. Our team is determined to provide individualized, very responsive support that you should receive from anyone who is dedicated to your success!
Accessibility Compliant Platform
One of the biggest challenges that learners face today is “accessibility” in their eLearning solutions. Our platform is American Disability Act (ADA), Accessible Canada Act, etc. compliant, and why we started our “Industry Impact Program.”
We are sensitive to disabilities so we provide closed-captioning (sub-titles) for hearing-impaired and screen readers for visually-impaired individuals who want to learn. We have worked extensively to MEET these “accessibility” standards.
Our platform is composed of a complex system with many aspects of development that are always evolving so “accessibility” is NOT a state so it’s a continuous process of improvement in response to our learners and Learning Management System (LMS).

Questions? Get Answers! Leverage Your Learning Center to Access to Our Members-Only Community Where Learning STICKS & Ideas Get Implemented.
Do you offer a Learning Center trial?
How do I log in to access my Learning Center?
To log into your account, go to the “Training Login” (click here) on our platform and access the eLearning solutions you’re enrolled in the Learning Management System (LMS). Put simply, the LMS dashboard is your “homepage” where you have an overview of your training and any activities that may need attention, so you know what to do to continue learning.
If you cannot log in, you can RESET your password from the “Lost your password?” option on our platform if you do not remember your password or forgot the email address you registered your account. You should have received a welcome email after registering on our platform and it contains account details for your login information.
Remember, to complete the “Whitelist Instructions” (click here) for our email address. You want to be sure that you are receiving our emails too… otherwise, you might NOT get your certificate and other cool things… they’re all sent via email so make sure you receive them.
Are you an accredited education provider?
Yes! Yet… it VARIES so much. For example, we’re accredited by Alaska’s Marijuana Control Board to provide their “Marijuana Handler Permit,” Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide their required “Responsible Vendor” compliance training and others… see our “About Us” (click here) page for accreditations and memberships.
And 99% of our training applies to ANY country or jurisdiction (ex. Canada, Europe Australia, etc.) since our team publishes all our education “agnostically” (or “white-labeled”) so our eLearning solutions really apply to anyone that needs cannabis education… you must understand “English” (our “native language”) that’s really the only criterion to get started.
Our team is always creating new accredited curricula with our Subject Matter Experts who are industry professionals in their respective fields of study. The industry is still developing and there is no universal accreditation (ex. Department of Education, etc.), but we expect to see this change in the NEAR future and realize the very vital role that accreditation plays.
Do you offer team training for my business?
Yes! We provide a total eLearning solution, so you can EASILY train your team in a way that will provide you with a “turn-key” solution for your whole team at an affordable price. It’s called “Headquarters” (click here), “HQ” for short, and how we become an “extension of your team” to increase your profitability ($$$), ensure you’re compliant, and reduce your risks.
We have clients from dozens of countries around the globe utilizing our eLearning solutions since 99% of our training applies to ANY country (as long as you speak English is our only current limitation). We have been trusted for years by companies around the world and we’re endorsed by the leaders that are driving the cannabis industry forward so if there’s training missing that you need then we will publish it via our “Platform Roadmap” (click here).
We’ve built a best-in-class Learning Management System (LMS) that can be customized to your business from one centralized dashboard, allowing you to create learning plans for your teams, and then track and assess everyone’s activities with analytics. Whether you want your team to perform better, to make better STRATEGIC decisions, or for new staff to learn quickly… they will be equipped with credible knowledge and industry skills needed for your business.
How will your Learning Center help me?
- If you’re a “cannabis lover,” this training will set you apart from others who merely have read information online or have no cannabis knowledge, it is specialized training that you want today and lovingly seek to learn more about cannabis.
- If you’re an industry professional, we can help set you apart from your peers and make you more valuable to your company. This is the surest way to get a raise or promotion that you likely already deserve (but don’t have a tangible reason to ask).
- If you provide ancillary services, our eLearning solutions are a tangible way to show that you understand and know the industry, which helps you attract better, higher-paying clients to bolster your revenue and make a “bottom-line” impact.
- If you’re a manager or business owner, this training is a great way to learn on-demand for yourself. We are your “Headquarters” (click here) and a great way to train team members so they’re up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
What’s the difference between Lab, Lab+ & HQ?
Varies… Lab (click here) is perfect for “cannabis lovers” who want community and “just the facts” via our step-by-step mastery courses that we lovingly call “training on steroids.” For anyone who wants to be a professional and needs more in-depth training, Lab+ (click here) is the perfect option, it’s everything in Lab… PLUS (hence the name) all our industry and specialized certifications… you get the idea, but this is our “turn-key” solution for anyone.
Also, all members get access to “GC Engage” a smaller, “community within the community” where members of our team and Subject Matter Experts hang out every day talking about cannabis. And then there’s Headquarters or “HQ” (click here)… it is the “all-access pass” membership we offer and it’s for professionals or business owners who truly want it all!
“HQ” members also get to participate in new, exclusive training and mastery certifications that are created by our team that are released MONTHLY via our “Platform Roadmap” (click here). “HQ” is our enterprise solution that is made for teams so you can easily add/remove multiple accounts as opposed to the single-user access, which is also available (click here).
Once I become a member, where should I start?
Before you do anything else… you need to join the “GC Engage” community and ask at least one burning question (don’t have a question… don’t worry… we’ll give you a few ideas). Then, DIVE into our course catalog and pick any mastery certification or training that will help you reach your growth goals. Don’t see a topic you want? Then request topics on our “Platform Roadmap” (click here) and vote on ones that have been contributed by our entire community.
What do I need to get the most out of being a member?
If I want to cancel, am I locked into a contract?
Why should I become industry certified?
- Enhancing your career or starting a completely NEW one
- Learning the greatest strategies & LATEST tactics (that actually work)
- Expanding your skill-set & set yourself APART from the competition
- Wanting to JUMP to a higher pay grade (or promotion at your work)
- These mastery certifications are 100% made just for you…

- Europe (EU): “European Accessibility Act” used by EU governments and universities, aims to improve trade and remove country-specific rules.
- Australia: “Disability Discrimination Act” applies to organizations developing online resources so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities.
- WCAG 2.0: Used when deciding how to present content for the best web accessibility, these guidelines are always followed when we develop any media.
- ATAG 2.0: Guidelines to construct content (as well as consuming online content) and help to improve the accessibility of the media that our team produces.
- ARIA 1.0: As many parts of the user interface are dynamic and interactive, we follow these recommendations to utilize assistive technologies (ex. screen-readers).
What is your online training format like?
Interactive! Our training is designed in a “micro-learning” format that is typically completed in less than a one (1) hour period, but you will find some longer ones too. “Micro-learning” is a HOLISTIC approach for skill-based learning that deals with relatively small learning units that are short-term-focused strategies specifically designed for skill-based training needed. We always recommend trying our “Free Trial” (click here) to get an idea of our online format.
And our team of educational-technologist, Instructional Designers, and Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) strive to provide you with the best industry training and eLearning solutions available. With their peer-reviewed citations as leading experts, scientists, doctors, and educators… we always provide the best learning experience. Request new training on our “Platform Roadmap” or VOTE on current ones contributed by our community.
How long does it take to complete certifications?
How difficult are the training assessments?
If I fail, am I allowed to re-take the assessment?
Am I guaranteed to get a certificate and badge?
How can someone verify my training certificate(s)?
How do I display badges on my LinkedIn profile?
- In the user menu (top right), select “Preferences,” then “Backpack Settings” under “Badges” (click here) in your account on our platform.
- Enter your Badgr user account email and password.
- Look in your mailbox for a verification email so you can copy and paste the link to verify the connection to your account on our platform.
How often do you publish new training?
Monthly! But don’t feel like you have to consume everything the moment it’s released… everything NEW that we create is published from the “Platform Roadmap” (click here) into our solutions, so there’s no rush or pressure to access it in “real-time.” Think of us as your always-available, training library… there’s a reason why we’re called “Netflix for Cannabis”…
