Barista Training
SCA-aligned curriculum at our Nairobi center.
Our training center in Nairobi runs three programmes a month, year-round. SCA-aligned curriculum, two competition-spec machines, and a sensory panel that meets weekly. Every graduate leaves with a portfolio of pulled shots, a calibrated palate, and a job-ready certificate.
- Foundations (3 days): basics of espresso, milk, sanitation, customer service
- Intermediate (5 days): dialing in, calibration, latte art, brewed coffee
- Advanced (10 days): sensory, profile design, equipment care, bar leadership
- Certificate of completion with full skill assessment
- Lifetime access to alumni cuppings and refresher days
- Job placement support with our partner cafes across East Africa
