Students will apply the production practices from the Cannabis Production Program in a hands-on, face to face environment with a licensed cannabis producer in a one week short field study opportunity. The specific schedule is determined per practicum offering, but will include approximately 30 hours of on-site experience. This will be paired with an online component open over the listed course dates to supplement student experience. Students will be exposed to all aspects of production, from propagation through to drying, packaging and the regulatory procedures.
Please note: Students must take the previous four courses before taking this field study option. They will be required to travel to their field study site in the Olds area unless otherwise established with Continuing Education. Students will also be required to access evaluation and supplemental content online and to adhere to relevant industry dress codes.
The dates above refer to the time students will have access to online and evaluation/assessment content. "On-Site" dates are the estimated dates students will be required to be in person at their field study site. Details including on-site location, dates, and times will be confirmed with registered students closer to the field study dates. It is recommended that students do not make non-refundable travel plans until those dates are confirmed. Contact Continuing Education for more details.
