Course Barista Skills Foundation |  |

| Do you want to work as Barista or are you a huge coffee lover and would you like to expand your knowledge? With the SCA Barista Skills Foundation training you gain a solid foundation for your further career in coffee! This training is accredited by the SVH and you can apply for the internationally recognized SCA Barista Skills Foundation certificate.
After discussing the theoretical foundation the day will be mainly filled with practicing. In the theoretical section we explain differences between coffee beans, how extraction works, which methods there are to make espresso and discuss hygiene in the workplace. By experimenting a lot you learn to recognize the difference between sour, bitter, strong and weak. During practice you will operate the espresso machine yourself. In short: A day with crucial background knowledge and lots and lots of experimentation and practice! |

Was een hele open vriendelijke sfeer. Ik vond het persoonlijk dat er zoveel 'vrije' tijd was dat ik liever iets vlotter door de dag was doorgegaan. Wel een zeer kundige docente! Jurgen de Lange - Nvt31 March 2023
De cursus dag mede door de trainer was fantastisch, het behalen van het certificaat (sca)is het geld zeker niet waard. Arina7 February 2023
Duidelijke, uitgebreide training. Ik heb weinig barista ervaring, het enige wat ik heb gedaan is soms een beetje meehelpen achter de bar. Ik ben dus met weinig tot geen koffie kennis deze cursus gaan volgen. Dat is helemaal niet erg, maar zorg wel dat je van tevoren online theorie voor jouzelf even een keertje doorneemt, op de dag zelf gingen we er namelijk best diep op in, dan is het wel fijn als je al een beetje begrijpt waar het over gaat. De sfeer was lekker relaxed, maar toch kreeg je veel kennis mee, dat was fijn. Ook wat tijd gehad tussen de theorie door om de kennis in praktijk te brengen, ik vond dat best pittig, maar oefening baart kunst. Ik ben tevreden en zal zeker naar andere trainingen van ITC kijken :) Esther21 January 2023

Fijne lokatie (aanduiding/route omschrijving in het pand mag wat duidelijker ;-)), fijne enthousiaste docent die rust maar ook energie en deskundigheid uitstraalt, ik vond de kleine groep erg prettig. Goede balans tussen theorie en praktijk. Voldoende tijd om vragen te stellen en een gesprek met elkaar te hebben. Darren Bishop25 November 2022
The training was fantastic! The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was really great to work with. He was incredibly passionate about coffee and it really showed throughout the experience. Highly recommend. Marthe25 November 2022
Superleuke, afwisselende basistraining door een deskundige trainer met duidelijk veel ervaring. Na het volgen van deze training weet ik hoe ik de (voor mij) perfecte espresso maak en weet ik beter hoe ik melk opschuim voor een mooie cappuccino. Bekijk alle beoordelingen. |
