Is a Barista Course in Sydney Worth Doing?

Great Question!

We all know that making the perfect cup of coffee over and over again takes time and effort to gain the skill necessary. Then there is all the patterns in the milk! So how do these baristas get tot hat level and how can you set yourself on that path of eternal latte art?

Well, at the time of writing, there were 38 companies offering barista courses in Sydney, wow, what a selection. Well, unfortunately, the barista training courses aren’t built equal. Some will cater for the home barista, just looking to increase their knowledge and apply their coffee skills to their little home machine. This is nice, but for someone looking to start a career in coffee, the equipment and learning is just not adequate.

As an employer of baristas, I have had scores of certificate wielding applicants come to me with confidence in their world barista status, only to jump behind the machine and have no knowledge of basic extraction principles

Here is the key: When looking for a barista course in Sydney, look for a company that currently does it really well in the real world. By that I mean look to the owners and trainers and whether they are experienced and have worked in cool, busy, specialty coffee bars themselves and know what it is like to work at some of the best bars. They will then impart knowledge to you that you can apply and eventually work in the same arena.
