Compliance Officer Certification

Comprehensive training to become a certified cannabis compliance officer. Covers regulatory frameworks, inspection readiness, audit management, and enforcement response across multiple states.

Dispensary Operations Training

End-to-end dispensary operations — from opening day procedures to daily compliance checks. Learn inventory management, patient verification, and point-of-sale compliance protocols.

Cultivation Compliance

Regulatory compliance for cultivation operations including environmental controls, pesticide management, seed-to-sale tracking, and harvest reporting requirements.

New Market Onboarding

Fast-track compliance preparation for operators entering a new market. Understand local regulations, application requirements, and launch timelines before you file.

SOP Development & Documentation

Build compliant standard operating procedures from day one. Our templates and frameworks are drawn from real operational playbooks used by licensed businesses.

Staff Certification Preparation

Prepare your team for state-mandated certifications and badges. Training covers required knowledge areas and exam preparation for budtender, handler, and manager credentials.

Our Approach

We don't teach from textbooks. We teach from inspection reports.

Every course is built from real compliance scenarios encountered in real cannabis operations. Our instructors have run businesses, survived audits, responded to enforcement actions, and opened dispensaries across the country. That experience shapes every lesson plan, case study, and certification requirement we teach.

This isn't theory. It's the curriculum that comes from 20+ states of operational reality.

Get compliance-ready before your license application

Virginia's adult-use cannabis bill has been signed. The market is opening. Whether you're applying for a cultivation, dispensary, or manufacturing license, your compliance framework needs to be ready before you file — not after.

Proxis Academy offers Virginia-specific training that covers the state's regulatory structure, application requirements, and operational compliance expectations. Our team has been on the ground in Virginia from the start.

Get Virginia-Ready
1

Understand the Regulatory Framework

Virginia's cannabis regulations are unique. Learn the specific licensing categories, operational requirements, and enforcement structures before you invest in an application.

2

Build Your Compliance Infrastructure

Develop the SOPs, documentation systems, and staff training programs that regulators expect to see — before your inspection, not after a deficiency letter.

3

Certify Your Team

State-specific staff certifications, handler badges, and compliance officer credentials. Have a trained team ready to operate from day one of licensure.

4

Open with Confidence

Launch operations with a compliance-first approach. Our training ensures your team knows what inspectors look for and how to maintain continuous readiness.

Instructors

Three advisors. Every course.

No single perspective covers cannabis compliance. Every Proxis Academy course integrates three disciplines — operations, regulatory, and government affairs — because that's what it actually takes to stay licensed.

Operations

Led by Jan Carlos Byl — former COO of a 19-location cannabis platform with 20+ license wins. Real operational experience at scale: supply chain, retail, cultivation, and compliance management across multiple markets.

Regulatory

Led by Jenny Byl — trained the teams that opened 15+ dispensaries across 6 states. Deep expertise in state-by-state regulatory requirements, compliance protocols, and inspection readiness for operators at every stage.

Government Affairs

Led by Joy Byl — 30 years of government affairs relationships from Capitol Hill to state capitols. Navigating the political landscape of cannabis regulation and building relationships that protect your license.
