Excellent barista training
Niall provided a masterclass in barista training to new members of our team. He was wise and engaging, warm and encouraging, unfazed by our unique machine and all our questions. He is one of the best trainers I've ever encountered - he's got the gift!
Zero to Hero
Going into the course I knew very little about making coffee and was just an average coffee consumer. The course really opened my eyes to coffee tastes and origins. Gemma is an excellent teacher and would highly recommend giving it a go. Would certainly look for a job as a barista :)
Road to employment
Instructor Gemma was very helpful and explained each part of making coffees really well. Also was very clear when demonstrating how to do these things.
Gemma was also very easy to talk to which made the experience easier
Comprehensive and good fun
