General |
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! |

Richard was an incredible instructor/lecturer. He took the time to understand why we were there and really dialled into what we wanted to get out of the day. We all had a great day with him teaching us and came away with our brains exploding with all his great knowledge. I would highly recommend doing the course. Harriet Jane1 December 2023

Hele leuke en leerzame dag gehad met 6 cursisten. Alle vragen omtrent koffie kunnen gesteld worden, en worden uitgebreid beantwoord. Het fijne bij ITC Academy is dat ze onafhankelijk zijn. Ze geven oprechte adviezen zonder er financiële voordelen uit te halen. Ik kan iedereen aanraden om een cursus bij ITC Academy te volgen. Ineke Mulder10 November 2023
