Student Testimonials

Testimonials from students who have invested in Oaksterdam University Certifications and Courses.

Oaksterdam really did open up my career path in a number of ways. I was 18 when I went and apparently you had to be 21 to intern so instead I just volunteered every day. I volunteered so much that I remember Aseem told me I couldn’t anymore because it was “unfair to others”. Those were the best times though because that’s when Big Mike passed down the tricks of the trade to me before his passing. I wish he could see where I am today, but I know he’s smiling down on all of us. Michael Parker gave me the tools I needed to successfully operate entire farm operations, and Debby Goldsberry was the one who connected me to my first real job in Cannabis as the chief Horticulturist and Senior Consultant in extraction for Alta California Botanicals. Without Oaksterdam I wouldn’t have had the beginnings of my career, and I am forever appreciative of that. Joshua Alb

Well, Oaksterdam really helped me understand how the cannabis industry is shaping. The way they are actually trying to get real change did inspire me to take the cannabis industry and my love for fashion a lot more seriously. The program did touch my heart when it came to finding more people who I could at least relate to. I am scared to go on, but I do not fear moving forward. I just want some friends to enjoy the journey with. Thank you Oaksterdam for giving me that first hand experience without jeopardizing me or another cannabis business who has worked very hard to get where they are now. I just pray for an opportunity really to advocate the professionalism of people who consume cannabis as well as the artists who consume. Isaiah Dorsey
