I am lucky to be one of the students for this Barista training class. It is fantastic to have the opportunity to join this training program.

The training materials are clear with everything on a well-organized website that I can easily refer back for the information....to have the training from a cafe and everything is so real not just from textbook. I have many opportunities to practice. Attention to every details from grinding, tampering to texturing is important to make a good coffee. It gives me sense of achievement when I can really make a coffee for customers.
