AAPS Proudly Announces Partnership with QAQCC Program: A New Chapter in Elevating Cannabis Quality Assurance Education! 🌿

Greetings!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! 🌱 AAPS is proud to announce our latest partnership with the NSERC Create in Quality Assurance and Quality Control for Cannabis Production, Products, and Training (QAQCC) Program. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to elevating cannabis quality assurance education.

The QAQCC Program is a groundbreaking research and training initiative, launched in 2020 through a collaborative partnership with a multi-disciplinary group of researchers at esteemed Canadian universities, including McGill, University of Ottawa, and University of Saskatchewan, along with Health Canada and industry leaders. It represents a pivotal step forward in advancing the standards of quality control within the cannabis industry.

As part of this partnership, AAPS extends a warm welcome to the talented students from the QAQCC Program who will be joining us for our GMP1001 Course. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are widely recognized as the gold standard for ensuring consistent product quality. In this course, students will immerse themselves in GMP principles, covering everything from regulatory insights to hands-on manufacturing and quality control practices.

While GMP is not currently a mandatory requirement for Canadian cannabis companies, the QAQCC Program principal investigators, collaborators and students understand the immense value it brings to the industry. Our course provides a unique opportunity for these students to surpass Health Canada's requirements, equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of GMP principles. This additional knowledge and skill set will empower QAQCC students to make significant contributions to the ever-evolving landscape of cannabis quality assurance.

We are incredibly excited about this partnership and the potential it holds for excellence in cannabis education and industry collaboration. Together with the QAQCC Program, we are dedicated to shaping the future of cannabis quality assurance and ensuring that our students receive the highest level of education and enriched training available.
