The Barista Skills Foundations course is the perfect entry point into the world of specialty coffee. Designed for beginners and home baristas, this course is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and provides a strong foundation in essential barista techniques. Whether you’re considering a career in coffee or simply want to make café-quality drinks at home, this 1-day training equips you with the practical skills and knowledge to get started confidently.

Offered online or in-person, the course is highly accessible and flexible, allowing you to learn in a format that best suits your needs. During the 8-hour session (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM), you’ll gain hands-on experience with a commercial espresso machine and grinder, learn how to extract quality espresso shots, and understand the core principles behind milk steaming for a well-balanced cappuccino.

This course focuses on real-world barista skills, not latte art or advanced brewing techniques—that's covered in the SCA’s Intermediate modules. Instead, you’ll learn the foundational techniques that every barista needs: espresso dosing and tamping, understanding grinder adjustments, steam wand safety, milk texturing, and basic workflow behind the bar. You’ll also explore how to build drinks on a basic café menu and engage with simple customer service scenarios.

To earn the official SCA certification, students must successfully complete a short written exam at the end of the course. This credential is recognized globally and serves as a stepping stone toward more advanced SCA modules.

Whether you're preparing to work in a café, planning to open your own coffee business, or just want to take your home brewing to the next level, this course provides the skills and confidence to begin your journey.
