New Responsible Vendor Training (RVT) Tracks Now Available for Grower and Processor Agents
MCA is pleased to announce the availability of several new MCAapproved educational offerings tailored to cultivator and processor agents. MCA previously communicated that it was extending the deadline for these classes of agents to satisfy requirements in Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article, Sec. 36-501 (see prior notices dates October 17, 2024 and April 28, 2025 - PDF - 46.86 KB), while exploring alternative RVT opportunities more customized to grower and processor workplaces.
Current MCA-approved RVT vendors have developed customized trainings for growers and/or processors.* All currently approved RVT offerings can be found here. Agents are encouraged to take a training that best aligns with their job duties. Agents who work in multiple settings (i.e. a combination of grower, processor, and/or dispensary) may take multiple trainings, but are only required to complete one. All badged agents currently working in a dispensary, grower, or processor are required to complete a training by December 31, 2025, with documentation (certificate of completion) on file by January 1, 2026. (NOTE: Any badged agent who already completed an RVT course in 2024 or 2025 has met this requirement and does not need to complete another course until 2026.)
* MCA accepts applications for new RVT providers on a continual, rolling basis. Any entity interested in submitting an RVT application for dispensary agents can find application guidance here. Entities interested in submitting cultivator or processor RVT applications can contact [email protected] for further guidance.
