Barista Apprenticeship

$990 | 20 hours

Our Barista Apprenticeship program is designed specifically for anyone looking to get a job as a barista. We believe in the importance of training but understand it will only get you so far. Some things you just learn through experience.

That’s where this program comes in - dedicated coaching and mentoring AND practical training within a cafe environment. This apprenticeship program is aimed specifically at people who have no experience but are looking to start a career in coffee. It goes across 4 days and is limited to 3 people to achieve maximum results.

Please note that the Basic Espresso course is a prerequisite as it lays the foundation for the program. Both courses can be combined together (for a saving of $130) by purchasing the Barista Apprenticeship Package and redeeming each course at your convenience.
