So, you want to become a barista. There’s a lot more to it than just pressing a button on a coffee machine and letting it do all the work for you.
Becoming a barista takes customer service skills; a real passion for talking to people and brightening their days. Needless to say, it also takes a passion for coffee. It takes the flexibility to work a barista’s schedule, meaning lots of early morning starts. Perhaps, most obviously, it takes the knowledge only a barista certification can give you.
Whether you want to start a new career or if you’re simply a coffee fanatic wanting to make a better cup at home, Skills Training College is proud to provide affordable coffee training to suit anyone’s needs. Working with your fantastic teacher in one of our coffee classes we’ll teach you everything you need to know to prepare and serve espresso coffee, and at the end of the day, you’ll be ready to begin a new career thanks to your newly awarded nationally recognised statement of attainment.

Modern Coffee Making
The best part is that in the modern age of coffee, the technology makes it almost completely automatic. You don’t need to order your beans specially made from some coffee roasting facility or learn how to extract espresso by hand.

Advanced Coffee Making
If you really want to take your coffee skills to the next level, there’s something else you need to do first. Coffee art course training is essential for adding a personalised flair to each cup you make.

Step #2: Start Applying
After completing your coffee course, you’ll not only have the skills to make the perfect cup every time, you’ll also have evidence of your skills in the form of a certification.

Cafes, espresso bars, and even some of the largest coffee companies will throw open their doors to you once they see you’ve taken the initiative to earn a coffee qualification on your own.
There are countless job opportunities to be found online, and cafes are some of the only businesses still accepting resumes from people off the street. Knowing coffee art only helps you chances.
