SCA Barista Foundation Course

The espresso machine at the end gave me a proper taste of what real cafe pressure feels like, and now I actually understand what the dial-in process is about. Course ran over by 20 minutes but honestly I didn't want it to end, every minute was packed with useful skill.

The hands-on sessions gave me real confidence behind the machine, and the internationally recognised certificate at the end feels like genuine proof I can use. Was a bit nervous about my milk frothing, but the instructor's step-by-step guidance sorted that out fast.

The practical pace of the course meant I was dialing in shots and steaming milk by the second day, which gave me way more confidence than just watching videos. I like that the certificate is internationally recognised, so it actually feels like a legit starting point for a barista career.
