SUMMARY:SCA Barista Skills Professional
DESCRIPTION:The Barista Skills Professional course is designed to test advanced skills and detailed knowledge of the science behind processes used by a professional barista (for example\, a barista with 12 months or more of work experience). Successful candidates will have explored and demonstrated the advanced skills typically expected of a head barista. In particular\, participants will learn a sophisticated tasting methodology and descriptive explanation of coffee flavors; gain a detailed understanding of drink ingredients and the techniques available to maximize the quality of the drinks made; understand how to manage the skills of others to produce quality drinks; demonstrate an understanding of how to develop brew recipes and a systematic method of structuring beverage menus; and finally be able to consistently apply the highest standard of latte art and milk steaming techniques. A written exam tests professional course knowledge while a practical exam tests the skills described above based on different working activities carried out during the course. \nValidated parking and lunches are included in the course fee. \nMaximum Class Size: 3 students \nClass Duration: 7 hours \nInstructor: Jonathan Pascual\, Authorized SCA Trainer \nCancellation Policy & FAQs \nSCA certificate courses have very limited seating and require significant planning and preparation to schedule\, staff\, and deliver. Because of this\, SCA Courses follow a separate policy from our non-certification classes. \nRefunds and Rescheduling \n\n\n30+ days before the course start:You may reschedule or request a full refund at no charge. \n\n\n15–29 days before the course start:You may reschedule or request a refund\, less a 20% processing fee. \n\n\nWithin 14 days of the course start:Cancellations and rescheduling are no longer possible and are not eligible for a refund.
