| Training materials | ||||
| No additional training materials are required for this training. A work or internship place at a coffee roaster would be fantastic! | ||||
| For whom? | ||||
| Coffee roasters that have practical experience but no theoretical foundation, coffee sellers who want to have more insight into the product they are selling, coffee buyers, upcoming coffee roasters who want to discover whether the profession of roasting coffee is something for them. Baristas who want to understand their coffee roaster or supplier. Individuals who want to get the most out of their coffee hobby. Because whether you burn on a 35 kilo or 500 gram burner, the principle remains the same! | ||||

Paul was a fantastic instructor, and he takes an informative and realistic approach to roasting while allowing plenty of time for hands on experience with the equipment. Aside from the delivery of the course, he was also happy to share his vast industry knowledge and experiences. The ITC course has reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the industry, and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in coffee, or coffee production.

Excellent training!
I attended the Roasting Intermediate course with Paul, and it exceeded all my expectations. I thought I was well prepared, but the course gave me countless “aha” moments and completely expanded my perspective on coffee roasting.
I’ve been working professionally in coffee for around three years as a barista and café owner, but this training took my understanding of roasting, coffee development, and sensory analysis to a whole new level.
What impressed me most was the individual approach. Complex topics were explained in a practical and engaging way, making them easy to understand and immediately applicable. I left with a huge amount of knowledge that I can directly implement in my business.
I highly recommend ITC Academy and will definitely return for further training programs in the future. I also plan to use their courses for my team, as the value and quality of the training were outstanding.

Paul heeft veel en een brede koffie ervaring en legt alles rustig en goed uit. Hij houdt de structuur erin, bouwt veel tijd in om zelf te branden, meten en proeven. Hij behandelt alle onderwerpen en maakt de training gezellig met veel extra verhalen en tijd om samen te proeven en over koffie te praten. Daarnaast is het een goede proever, dus ook daar veel van geleerd. Ik zou de training zeker aanraden.

Altijd top trainingen van Paul!

Best way to start the year is with coffee, a roaster and an amazing AST like Paul Tinhout.
I have gained so much more knowledge than just the Roasting Course I signed up for. Definitely worth it!
Created such an amazing impact in my experience at ITC Academy and would highly recommend to listen to his stories that are overflowing with wisdom in the coffee industry.
Will always be thankful for the kind, generous, and humble person he is.

Alweer de 13e training van Paul, blijft me echt weer elke keer verbazen hoeveel deze man van koffie weet. Bij ITC kun je veel leren!

The training was phenomenal! Paul created a great learning atmosphere and went into the weeds of every question. The training is, of course, particularly valuable in its practical side (since most of the theory is not so difficult to find online), playing with a different roaster is a great way of testing the concepts.
