What you need to know

No prior experience is required for the Be Barista course; it starts from scratch to build a solid foundation. The Be Barista Specialty Coffee level is designed for professionals and requires prior assessment to coordinate the approach.
How are the course dates chosen?
After you fill out and submit the form, we will contact you directly to schedule the training day based on availability.
What materials should I bring?
None. Our Workshops are fully equipped with everything needed. Each student has their own workstation and machinery during the five hours of class.
Is it possible to conduct the training at our own premises?
Yes. For groups of more than five people, we adapt the logistics and travel directly to your establishment with the necessary equipment.
