Our courses are designed for both new and experienced baristas wanting real-world coffee skills that translate into professional environments.

Choosing the Right Course Level

If you have no previous barista training, we recommend starting with our Home Barista (Introduction) course or the Combined Foundation + Intermediate course. Baristas with previous experience can move directly into Intermediate or Professional training. If you are unsure where your current skill level fits, we also offer barista evaluations to help determine the most suitable training path.
