This comprehensive 2-hour METRC training course is designed to give cannabis industry professionals hands-on knowledge and real-world skills to confidently manage day-to-day operations in the METRC system.

Why This METRC Training Is Critical

METRC (Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance) is the seed-to-sale tracking system required in many legal cannabis markets across the United States. Accurate use of METRC is essential for maintaining compliance, avoiding fines, and ensuring your license remains in good standing. Mistakes in METRC—from package discrepancies to improper returns—can trigger costly investigations. This METRC training course is designed to help operators reduce risk, improve data accuracy, and streamline workflows.
