This master coffee course will turn you into a true barista, no matter if you are looking for a job as a barista, run a café or are just passionate about coffee. During this two-part course our industry-trained instructors will coach you in all the skills needed to make fantastic coffee!

Your coffee course consists of two components that can be attended back-to-back or on separate days.

During the three-hour basics class you will learn:

  • Where coffee comes from and how it was discovered by the Arabs and refined by the Italians (even most baristas don't know that coffee is the seed from within a cherry that grows on a tree!)
  • How coffee is grown and harvested (you need to know this if you are going to discover the many tastes and aromas of coffee from different origins)
  • How coffee is blended and roasted (we have always said 'in the end, it's all in the blend')
  • How to pour the perfect espresso shot (under-extracted and it's too weak, over-extracted and it's too bitter - we tell you how to make it perfect)
  • The art of frothing creamy, textured milk (you don't want to create 'roadhouse' froth and we show you how to avoid it!)
  • How to pour all the drinks in a café menu with style (you think you can pour a cappuccino - but can you pour a vienna, long macchiato and a doppio?)
  • How to clean your equipment to maintain the taste of your coffee.

During the two-hour coffee art class you will learn:

  • Advanced training in etching, fudge art and free-pouring

There will also be a TAFE certificate included, as well as a TAFE Transcript of Academic Record. Important Note: We are the only independent training facility in Australia able to offer a TAFE Statement of Attainment as well as a Transcript of Results that relates to the national competency in coffee-making. This means that we have been audited by the TAFE system, our teachers have Cert IV qualifications and our course teaches people exactly what is necessary (and a lot more!) to be competent in making coffee.

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

Venue:

We run courses in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane CBD.

    The barista course was great as i did not know there was so much to learn about making a cup of coffee. The teachers were a pleasure to be around and put you at ease which made the course very enjoyable.
