Description

CBD oil is everywhere at the moment – it’s a booming business, and there are some impressive claims made about what it can do for our bodies. Sometimes, when we read such claims, we can feel a little (or very) sceptical, and somehow these promises of miraculous results can leave us dismissing the product. The Medicinal Cannabis & CBD Oil Diploma Course doesn’t make claims of miracle cures. Rather, it methodically takes you through all aspects of the cannabis plant, its constituents and its products, and this information will hopefully leave you in no doubt that this is a that this is a remarkable plant, with remarkable properties.

The Medicinal Cannabis & CBD Oil Diploma Course begins by introducing you to the cannabis plant. You will learn all about its botany, the vast array of varieties of cannabis plants (and how all these varieties came to be) and take a look at the long history of humanity’s uses for cannabis.

You’ll learn about the many products derived from the cannabis plant. In particular, you’ll look at how CBD oil is made and the various ways it can be administered. You’ll also get to know the cannabinoids, along with other constituents found in cannabis – exploring their therapeutic actions – before plunging into the fascinating world of the endocannabinoid system.

When it comes to cannabis, one of the most-studied areas is its use in pain relief. Through your study, you’ll assess its analgesic effects. From this foundation, the Medicinal Cannabis & CBD Oil Diploma Course walks you through the inclusion of cannabinoids in the symptom management of various conditions, including issues of cancer, the digestive and respiratory systems, the immune system, mental health, and the endocrine system.

The course concludes by arming you with the knowledge you need to be able to seek out, understand and analyse good research. This is important, as it helps you to sift out the ‘snake oil’ claims and get to the truth.

Who is this course for?

The Medicinal Cannabis & CBD Oil Diploma Course will be of interest to you if you have tracked the usage of cannabis as a medicine and want to further your knowledge. You may have heard about the use of the plant becoming legalised in more countries, particularly for medical use, and want to understand more about why this may be and what its benefits are. It may be that you, or someone you are close to, may be suffering from a chronic condition, the symptoms of which are said to be alleviated by the drug.

Whatever your reason to study this course, you will gain an excellent understanding of the chemistry and pharmacology of the cannabis plant and the therapeutic actions of the cannabinoids, as well learning about your body and its functions.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
