Are you a security guard, currently out of work due to Covid-19 changes to the entertainment industry? Have you thought about applying for jobs in the Medicinal Cannabis Security Industry? Or perhaps studying to become an expert in Security Services for this sector? Before you embark on your new career path, you’ll need to have fundamental Medicinal Cannabis Industry Security training.
Sector-specific knowledge is necessary in order to compete in the job market. And the cannabis industry job market is increasingly competitive in response to recent changes.
Protecting herbal medicine crops and cannabis site personnel is a major responsibility. Other conditions apply to successfully gaining employment in the pharmaceutical cannabis sector. Expect thorough background checks and police checks if you decide to apply for any job openings in the cannabis industry, including Onsite and Transportation Security positions.
Strict hiring criteria is a crucial component of ensuring safety and security in the medicinal cannabis industry. You’ll discover more about industry roles, regulatory responsibilities, personnel hiring criteria, and crop cultivation basics in our Series 1 and Series 2 online training programs.
But before you can get started, you’ll need to understand the basics.
The starting point for Security personnel applying for Medicinal Cannabis Industry Security job openings: Employee Induction Training
Professionals seeking to provide security services need to first gain a thorough understanding of Cannabis Industry regulations and other specifics.
Fortunately, there’s a way to learn about the sector from the comfort of your home or office. The newly released Medicinal Cannabis Cultivation Academy (MCCA) training courses provide a wealth of industry-specific information.
Series 1 and Series 2 provide a comprehensive orientation to Cannabis Industry roles and responsibilities. These online courses provide foundational knowledge across a wide range of industry topics. These training courses can assist future employees and newly-hired contractors to understand the many facets and regulations that govern this evolving industry.
Courses are suitable for anyone with an interest in the Pharmaceutical Cannabis Cultivation and Manufacturing Sectors.
They are recommended to be completed as a Series, in sequential order; before seeking employment in the industry and/or in conjunction with onsite training.
GACP and GMP regulations have far-reaching impacts on day-to-day cannabis operations.
Yet compliance requirements are often underestimated by cannabis-sector job seekers as well as new cannabis licence applicants.
Our GMP courses help reduce common knowledge gaps in the sector. The Medicinal Cannabis Cultivation Series 1 and 2 are highly recommended for anyone considering entering the cannabis sector, in any position, in any region of the globe.
For job seekers in the cannabis industry, pre-job application knowledge should include many facets.
These include cultivation licence application procedures through Government regulatory authorities, operator legal responsibilities, potential audits by the TGA, FDA, EMA, and other global Regulators, and workplace health and safety requirements unique to cultivation settings. Additional information, such as personnel hiring criteria, GMP training requirements, pharmaceutical cultivation regulations (European and PICS GMP, GACP, more) and Security Requirements for cannabis industry licence holders is also helpful.
That’s a lot to learn, but we’ve got you covered in our newly released 12-series online training modules.

Getting your Security Training Certificate of Completion for Cannabis Industry Security training fundamentals.

Yes, you can take this course individually.

But depending on your learning style and background, some courses may take you less time, and some may take you more time. You can retake the Final Assessment if you are not successful on your first attempt. Once completed successfully, you can then save, print and download a customised Certificate of Completion for the completed topic (12 Certificates in total if you complete the entire 12-part Series).
