Barista Coffee Courses

Course Details

Victoria’s baristas have a global reputation for being amongst the most experienced, creative, and technical in the industry. The standards set here are often followed by the rest of the world. Victorians are immensely proud of this reputation and, as a result, coffee is a bigger part of our culture than it has ever been.

Employers and customers alike demand the best from their baristas. They must have the technical skills and product knowledge required to meet the standards of Victoria’s voracious appetite for coffee. Our trainers know this, and they are here to show you what that passion is all about. Our goal is to prepare you to become a part of this vibrant coffee industry.

The best way to learn is to get hands on with the equipment. Our purpose-built coffee training rooms are filled with industry standard coffee machines, so you will have uninterrupted access to the machines during training. You will be grinding coffee beans, texturing milk, and pouring every different type of coffee served by cafes, restaurants, and other venues around Victoria.
