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.

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!

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.
Kristine Towikromo - NVT28 September 2022
Ik vond het een hele interessante training, goed verzorgd, goed om vooraf de presentatie te volgen.
Vragen die de trainer gedurende de les stelde aan de kandidaten was goed, is meteen oefenen.
Had meer latte art willen proberen omdat ik niet dagelijks werk met de verschillende apparaten.
het Stomen van de melk was best challenging,
De trainer vond ik sympathiek, helder, goed benaderbaar en erg skillvol, ze kan zo goed uitleggen en ze nam mij letterlijk bij de hand. Erg A+

Ontzettend veel geleerd! Fijne trainer gehad, communicatie was helder en lekker laagdrempelig. Had alleen graag iets meer willen leren over latte art, maar volgens mij was daar niet echt tijd meer voor.
