If you’re working in coffee — or aiming to build a long-term career in the coffee industry — having a solid, recognised foundation matters.

The SCA Coffee Skills Program (CSP) is one of the most established and globally recognised education frameworks in specialty coffee. It’s widely respected across cafés, roasteries, and coffee businesses as a way to build structured knowledge and practical skills — without shortcuts or inflated promises.

As an Authorised SCA Trainer (AST), we deliver official SCA training and certification in the areas we specialise in:

Introduction to Coffee

This is the most important starting point.
It covers the fundamentals of coffee — from seed to cup — and helps you understand what coffee is, why it tastes the way it does, and how the industry works.
Whether you’re new to coffee or already working behind the bar, this course builds the essential knowledge every coffee professional should have.

Barista Skills

Designed for those working in cafés or preparing coffee professionally.
We offer:

• Foundation
• Intermediate
• Professional

These levels focus on workflow, espresso preparation, milk techniques, consistency, quality control, and professional standards — skills that matter in real café environments.

Brewing

For professionals who want a deeper understanding of extraction, recipes, and manual brewing methods.
Available at:

• Foundation
• Intermediate
• Professional

This stream strengthens your technical understanding of coffee and helps you brew with intention, clarity, and repeatability.

About SCA Diplomas

SCA Diplomas (such as the Café Skills Diploma) are built by combining multiple certificates across different programs. They represent broad, long-term professional development.

While we do not deliver all certificate streams required for every diploma, the courses we offer — especially Introduction to Coffee, Barista Skills, and Brewing — form key building blocks within the SCA education pathway.

SCA certification doesn’t guarantee a job.
What it does offer is:

• A shared professional language
• Structured learning recognised worldwide
• A strong signal of commitment to the craft and industry

If you’re serious about developing yourself in coffee — whether to improve your skills, grow professionally, or increase employability — SCA training is a solid, credible place to start.
