Hi all,
This is just a quick one regarding the TAFE short course certification Barista 1,3 & Barista Coffee Preparation - Advanced.
Id like to build my skills and think these courses would be good, however Im wondering if anyone out there in the real world look for baristas that are certified, or, is it a case of if you can do it and do it well, a piece of paper is only that.
One other question I have is regarding where to do the course - its offered at tafe via Sydney Coffee Academy, at Tobys Estate plus a few more Im sure.
My questions are:
- Does anyone hiring look for certified baristas, if so, to what level?
- Does a certified barista whos only got at home experience (albeit on a commercial machine) get a look in?
- Is there any reason to go to one place offering certification over another? Any benefits making the choice of one over another a no brainer? Would anyone out there prefer someone to have been trained at one place over another?
As usual I look forward to your responses, thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Matthew
