Understand the focus and learning context
With the growing acceptance of medical cannabis across many European countries, there is an increasing demand for strict regulatory controls in cannabis production. As a result, Licensed Producers are required to implement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure product quality, safety, and consistency. The global ambition for cannabis trade further emphasizes the need for alignment with GMP standards, particularly EU-GMP, across the industry.
The Cannabis Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) training provides in-depth knowledge of EU-GMP principles and their application within the cannabis sector. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the importance of GMP in the production, storage, and testing of cannabis, as well as the role of Quality Management Systems (QMS) in maintaining compliance and operational integrity.
