This course for beginner baristas covers all the contents that are assessed in the Specialty Coffee Association's Foundation certificate, but does not include the tests corresponding to this qualification (the Exam+Certificate SCA - Foundation must be added to the purchase price).
It is designed for anyone interested in starting a career as a barista or for those who already have experience but want to start a more professional and regulated training.
The course lasts one day, 7 hours, and includes theoretical and sensory content on the origin of coffee and its most important characteristics (species, roasting, tasting); and practical content on espresso extraction, grinder regulation, steaming, latte-art, cleaning and maintenance. The course provides all the tools/knowledge necessary for a person who has never touched coffee to be able to defend themselves in a coffee shop and start their career as a barista.
The course is held in the city centre of Madrid, at Hola Coffee Academy (Link in Maps). We attach great importance to quality and personal attention in the training, so the maximum number of participants is 4 people.
