Program Overview

Cannabis Good Production Practices (GPP) must be implemented by a certified Cannabis Quality Assurance Person (QAP) to ensure that cannabis is consistently produced and controlled at every stage of production, packaging, labeling, and storage. These practices help ensure that products meet the quality standards appropriate for their intended use and comply with Health Canada’s regulatory requirements. Gaining a thorough understanding of GPP is essential for producing high-quality, compliant cannabis products.

This comprehensive training program covers key cannabis-related quality systems, including Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP), Good Documentation Practices (GDP), Good Production Practices (GPP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Good Validation Practices (GVP). These frameworks are tailored specifically for cannabis production, cultivation, oil extraction, and product development processes.

To enhance the learning experience, the program may include practice tests, quizzes, and subtitle support. Attendees are encouraged to actively participate in discussions and engage with lead trainers to clarify any questions or concerns.
