Course Sensory Skills Foundation |  |
| General |
| How trained are your senses? The Sensory Skills Foundation training is all about tasting, smelling and feeling. We start with the five senses and distinguish the five basic tastes. We then learn to cup your coffee according to the standards, what a sensory analysis is and how you can use it. Taste is of course subjective, we explain how that works and how tastes interact with each other. At the end of the day you can judge a coffee on taste, aroma and texture and use terms such as “mouthfeel” and “body.”
For this training, you can apply for the internationally recognized SCA Sensory Skills Foundation certificate. |
| Duration |
| One day (7 hours). We start at 10 am, we finish at 17 pm. |
| Preliminary training |
| If this is your first coffee training, Green Coffee Foundation and Barista Skills Intermediate are recommended (but not mandatory). |
| Cost |
|
| Training materials |
| No additional training materials are required for this training. |
| For whom? |
| The coffee professional who wants to develop his or her own taste and wants to learn to recognize and name flavors. |
| Examination |
| At the end of the day we evaluate your knowledge and skills. Have you successfully completed the day and do you also want to obtain the SCA certificate? Then you can take the SCA theory exam at home after the day’s training. With the knowledge you gained during the course day, you will be able to pass the theory exam. Read our Dutch SCA page for more information. |
