Module 1
Extraction Fundamentals
From Zero to Lab-Ready
A student who can walk into a cannabis extraction laboratory on day one and operate safely, understand the chemistry driving every process decision, select appropriate solvents and equipment for a given production goal, and execute standard extraction procedures with proper documentation.
Laboratory Foundations
Safety, orientation, and the professional mindset required before touching any equipment or chemical.
Chemistry You Actually Need
The chemistry concepts that directly explain why extraction works.
Solvent Selection
How to think about solvent choice as an engineering and business decision.
Extraction Equipment
What each piece of equipment does, how it works mechanically, what to evaluate when purchasing, and what the failure modes are.
Extraction Procedures
Full procedural walkthroughs for each extraction method. SOP-level detail with teaching context. Includes product-specific procedures for RSO, BHO textures, flower rosin, and hash rosin.
Post-Extraction Basics
Introduction to what happens after extraction. Enough to complete the picture for Module 1.
Quality, Compliance, and Documentation
The documentation and compliance backbone that separates professional operators from hobbyists.
Capstone Assessment
Synthesis. Scenario-based assessment that proves the student can apply everything from Module 1.
