BSI/QBA
Three days, including a day of real work experience in a busy specialty coffee shop. Our most complete barista course.
What it’s about
This is our most comprehensive barista course, for anyone from a total novice to someone already working in specialty coffee, and people who employ or supervise baristas. You learn from the very beginning what it takes to become a professional barista.
What sets it apart is the work experience: a day in a busy specialty coffee shop whose staff have all been trained by Barista School Ireland. Once you’re BSI/QBA qualified, we recommend our graduates to our trade partners when they have barista positions open.
