Course format and price: confirm before booking
A previously advertised £80 course price is not a quote for private onsite coaching, one-to-one training or travel. Its exact current format, duration and availability must be confirmed by our team. Private coaching and business team sessions are scoped and priced individually based on location, group size and requirements.
Before paying, request written confirmation of the venue, participants, duration, equipment, course content, total price and any certificate or accreditation. Do not assume an external qualification is included.
What you can learn in barista training
Milk texturing:
practise steaming and pouring while following safe handling guidance for the milk products used in your workplace.
Latte art:
build control of milk texture and pour height, then practise simple patterns at a pace suited to your experience.
Coffee knowledge:
learn how origin, roast and brewing choices affect flavour, and how to describe a drink clearly to a customer.
Equipment care:
understand routine cleaning and basic checks for the machine and grinder, using the equipment maker's instructions.
Service workflow:
organise a station, communicate during busy periods and make drinks consistently without skipping hygiene or cleaning steps.
Our Catering Offerings
Choose a course for your level
New to coffee
A beginner session should explain the main equipment and drink workflow, then give you guided practice. If you have never used an espresso machine, ask how much hands-on time is included and whether you need to bring anything.
Already working as a barista
If you have experience, identify the skill you want to improve—such as dialing in, milk texture, latte art or service speed. Share your current equipment and the drinks you make so the trainer can confirm whether the session is a fit.
Training for a café or hospitality team
For a group, describe the equipment, menu, number of trainees and the service problems you want to address. Ask whether training can take place at your workplace or at another agreed location, what the session covers, and how the team will practise after it ends.
Package Inclusions
Questions to ask before booking
Everything Included:
- Which topics and practical exercises are included for my experience level?
- What machines and grinders will we use, and can the content match our equipment?
- Where will the session take place, how many people can attend, and what dates are available?
- What is the price, what does it include, and what is the cancellation or rescheduling policy?
- Is any certificate offered? If so, who issues it and what does it represent? Do not assume a short course is an accredited qualification.
Custom branding, vegan & halal options included with every booking.
Book a CallHow to prepare
Before the session, write down your goal and any drinks or techniques you find difficult. For team training, share the machine and grinder models, menu, trainee experience and normal service setup in advance. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for practical work, and follow the trainer's instructions for hygiene and equipment safety.
After training, practise one technique at a time and use a written recipe or checklist to make your results repeatable. Ask for feedback on the specific skill you are working on; progress depends on practice and is not guaranteed by attendance alone.
