What you will learn in the 2 Month Advanced Barista & Hospitality Operations Course

Week 1:

5 days (Monday to Thursday – 10am to 2pm and Friday - 12pm to 2pm)

The first week consists of practical and basic methods of making coffee, from working the grinder and coffee machine, to making some of the 20 coffees you need to know and understand. You will also be privileged on Day 5 to learn the basics of Latte Art.

In short:

• During a tasting session you will learn the origins of different coffees, how they should taste and how they are made
• Learn how to use, clean and maintain professional barista equipment
• Discover the perfect milk texture and temperature and begin making coffee within your first hour
• Learn how to make the most popular coffees in Australia (Flat White, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Short Black, Latte, Mocha etc.)
• Develop a true appreciation of the art of fine coffee making
• Learn how to become faster and more efficient under the stress of a professional cafe environment
• Be tutored in professional table service in cafes and restaurants
• Receive our specially designed speed training and see if you’ve got what it takes in the 'time trial challenge'

Weeks 2, 3 and 4:

2 hours (two afternoons a week)

The focus of the next 3 weeks is to build speed and consistency in your coffee making ability. You will also be exposed to the requirements of efficient and professional table service in the hospitality sector in addition to finessing your creativity and presentation of coffee by advancing your Latte Art ability.

Weeks 5, 6, 7 and 8

2 hours (two afternoons a week)  plus 1 day a week café work experience (min 2 hours)

The focus of Weeks 5-8 is on exposure to the café scene and coffee making through hands on experience. You will have the opportunity to work in a leading Sydney café during various peak times behind the machine and on the floor. This final stage of the course will enable you to cement your learnings of the course by putting all into practice and providing you with the ‘local’ experience needed to find a job. Alongside this, we will train in building the team player, advanced speed and organisational skills and growing your knowledge for running a cafe business.

This course differs from others because it:

1. Has been designed specifically for students with no hospitality experience.
2. Focuses on participation and practical experience (skills that are expected by prospective future employers).
3. Places students in a ‘real life’ café setting and allows them to use real equipment.
4. Empowers students to tackle tasks and therefore confidently apply for positions within the hospitality industry.

After 2 months of intense training with our professional instructors and work experience in a real cafe environment you will be ready to step right into the job. No matter if you are looking to start working in a cafe, restaurant or even planning to start your very own business this course is ideal.
