But what does a Budtender do?

The Budtender helps people find the best products based on their needs and inform them about cannabis use. They work in dispensaries, CSC, and coffeeshops, selecting the right products for each customer, assisting them in their choice, and making sure it is an informed decision. In addition, the Budtender has extensive knowledge not only of the products, but also of the culture, therapeutic aspects, especially risk reduction, as well as cultivation, extraction, and everything related to the world of dispensaries or coffee shops.

The best Budtenders are considered true “sommeliers” or “cannabis connoisseurs,” experts who are able to help users have positive experiences with the plant, keeping up to date with the latest market trends.

If you love interacting with people and want to discover the secrets of a good Budtender, this course is tailor-made for you. Upon successful completion of the program, you will be ready to work in coffee shops or dispensaries (in countries where the law allows this, of course).
