How our courses fit

Missouri Cannabis Workforce Training (Learn Brands). Covers the shared topics in about four hours online: Missouri law and DCR rules, purchase limits, ID and age checks, customer confidentiality, security and emergency response, and onset times by method of use. It can be finished within the one-week deadline. It does not cover your own SOPs, Metrc use, sanitation procedures or your product menu, which the rule also requires. It is a Learn Brands course; the rule has no course approval process.
