Named expert instructors

Every course is taught by a named, credentialled trainer — not a rotating pool of part-timers. You know exactly who is teaching you and can hold them to the standard they publish.

Professional-grade equipment

Train on the same commercial espresso machines, grinders, and drum roasters you will find in a real café or roastery. Day one on the job you will recognise the equipment and the workflow.

Five weeks of real depth

Our Professional courses run for five weeks because barista and roasting craft cannot be compressed into a weekend. You leave with muscle memory, not just a certificate.

Monthly intakes, no long wait

A new cohort starts every month, so you can plan around work, family, or funding. Small class sizes mean the instructor has time for you — not just the fastest learner in the room.

Graduate stories

What our students say

Real words from real graduates — not marketing copy.

I walked in never having touched an espresso machine. Five weeks later I was pulling clean shots and pouring rosettas. I had a job before the course even ended.

Professional Barista Course

Barista, specialty café

The roasting course is the real thing — actual green coffee, an actual roaster, and profiles I still use today. Jowam took me from curious to confident.

Aisha Mwangi

Professional Roasting Course

Production Roaster, specialty roastery

I'd been on the bar for a year but had gaps. The refresher sharpened my milk work and speed in two weeks. Worth every shilling.
