An Amazing Learning Experience

Chris

The Natural Learning Academy’s Curious About Cannabis Workshop Part 1 was an amazing learning experience. I would highly recommend the course for anyone who is serious about furthering their cannabis education. Jason is an educated teacher who is engaging, easy to follow and makes himself available to ensure the success of his students. He is joined by guest presenters who are at the top of the industry in their fields, who add to the depth of information. Not only does the course teach you about the science behind the cannabis plant, but also sets you up with the tools to research and continue learning after the workshop is completed. After taking several classes in the cannabis industry, I can say without a doubt that this course has been the best. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Jason! I’m looking forward to continuing on to part 2 of the workshop.

Learned So Much

by A.M.

"I loved everything about this course! I have learned so much and now when I look at a plant, It's more than just a plant...it's science! Its so nice to finally be able to have the tools needed to find the answers to my questions. On the internet there are so many forums and websites and you don't know which are accurate. The websites and material you have shown me are actual proof to questions I have had. You've answered every question I've had and your course has allowed me to understand the plant more. Can't wait to discover more! Thank you again, you guys are awesome!!"

Blown Away

by S.M.

“...I have read a lot of books on Cannabis botany and science and the text and materials in this class blows them away!”

Can't Wait for Level II

by S.D.

“I can’t wait to take the level II course when it is offered.”


About the Workshop

Our Curious About Cannabis workshop series is where the Curious About Cannabis brand was born! 

Now we have re-engineered our popular in-person workshop for a virtual environment to make this unique learning experience available to anyone with an internet connection and a desire to learn!

 

Limited cohort sizes means better discussions, better peer support, and better learning outcomes

We keep our cohort sizes relatively small (10 – 20 learners) because we find that this is the best way to ensure that each student gets the support they need so that they can make the most out of their time in the workshop. Smaller cohort sizes tends to lead to better class discussions, more engagement from each student, and more peer support, which overall results in a dramatic difference in experience for our students.

 

Our workshops are uniquely customized to your interests

We have designed this workshop series to ensure that each cohort experience is unique. While we do utilize a consistent curriculum with each workshop, we also stack on a layer of activities and projects that allow our cohort members to engage their own unique interests. As each person in the workshop learns, they share with everyone else, and we all learn together – creating an incredible feedback loop that maximizes learning outcomes.

 

Our workshops are challenging and rewarding (literally – we give you rewards)

Curious About Cannabis workshops are intensive workshops (no joke!), intended to make attendees work hard to learn and demonstrate their newfound understanding to others. Each student will have the chance to work alongside scientists and industry experts to explore core concepts of Cannabis science. The course is graded and a passing score of 80% or better is required to receive a Certificate of Completion issued by Natural Learning Enterprises.


Our workshop elements include:

Live Classroom Sessions (Virtual and Recorded)

Guest Lectures from Leading Cannabis and Cannabinoid Science and Technology Experts

Interactive Hands-On Elements

On-Demand Educational Videos

Homework Assignments

Research Projects

Quizzes and Examinations

 

With access to this workshop you will also receive:

A complimentary copy of the Curious About Cannabis book

A claim to an exclusive Curious About Cannabis NFT featuring unlockable content and perks

The Werc Shop’s Cannaroma Terpene Kit

It Doesn’t End Here…
