ARE MOUNT ALOYSIUS COLLEGE’S CANNABIS CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS TO WORK AT THEIR OWN PACE?
Yes, but with some structure. New course material is made available weekly for the duration of each program. Student study is primarily asynchronous (i.e. you may study at a time suitable for yourself). Students are required to pass online tests to progress through the program. You may “catch up” at your own speed, however you cannot progress through the course faster than the weekly release of new content. Coursework must be completed at the end of each eight-week session to progress.

Each certificate consists of three eight-week courses. The certificate takes approximately six months in total to complete.
