Barista Skills Foundation

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, after completing your exam, you can apply for the internationally recognized SCA 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!

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.

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.

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.

Zeer leuke en leerzame cursus, ze nemen echt de tijd voor je als er iets niet lukt / als je iets niet snapt.
Zeker een aanrader.
