Mastery, perfection and exclusivity
Three concepts associated with Marabans that we would love to transmit and share through our academy, courses and training.
For more than 25 years we have been teaching, promoting and disseminating the art of coffee.
Marabans Academy was created with the aim of providing professional training for both baristas and coffee lovers. We have designed a range of courses based on exclusive and technical training methods that will broaden your knowledge, regardless of whether you are seeking a career in this field or you simply love coffee and would like to practise at home.
Making a great cup of coffee requires a solid knowledge, the right training and ongoing refresher courses to update your know-how.
We have therefore designed two types of courses: Basic level, to improve your skills as a beginner barista and Intermediate level, to improve your knowledge as a barista (5 hours). Advanced level, for professionals in the barista profession (5 hours). Targeting coffee lovers, bartenders, baristas, waiters, coffee shops owners, coffee stores, restaurants, hotels and speciality shops, etc. For the correct assimilation of the content, our Experience Manager contacts the students beforehand to find out level and specific needs of the student, in order to adapt the material for a correct assimilation of the barista course.
Joan Simó, an experienced barista with a SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) qualification and Marabans'Experience Manager, is in charge of delivering the courses at our facilities in Can Picafort (Mallorca).
Below are details of the various training courses we offer. Please select the one that best suits your needs:
