About LearnTender
Where Brands & Budtenders Connect
LearnTender helps budtenders grow their knowledge and gives cannabis brands a smarter way to train retail teams at scale.
Why LearnTender exists
The cannabis industry is built on knowledge, relationships, and trust.
Everyday, budtenders help consumers navigate an increasingly complex marketplace, discover new products, and make informed purchasing decisions. Yet despite the important role they play, education across the industry remains fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult for brands to scale. LearnTender was created to solve that problem.

Meet the Founder
Corey Thomas
Corey has spent more than twenty-five years working in the cannabis space, with experience spanning cultivation, retail, product development, manufacturing, and brand building. Her work has earned numerous accolades, including 14 High Times Cannabis Cup wins.
But her passion extends beyond the plant, the products, and the brands. She’s passionate about the people.
Cannabis professionals are constantly learning, adapting, and building their knowledge, often without the recognition or professional development their expertise deserves.
LearnTender gives those professionals a way to demonstrate their expertise, expand their knowledge, earn meaningful credentials, and take pride in their career development.
After decades in the cannabis industry, Corey knows firsthand how much talent exists throughout the industry. She created LearnTender to give those professionals a bigger voice, a stronger sense of community, and the recognition they deserve.
The future of cannabis depends on knowledgeable professionals. LearnTender is here to recognize them.
