In Feburary this year I did a TAFE certified "Prepare and Serve Espresso Coffee" course - I passed and recieved a certificate.
I put on my resume that I did a "Barista (Prepare & Serve Espresso Coffee) course at Adelaide Hospitality & Tourism School" and was called in to do a trial at Elly Cafe at Marion Westfield in Adelaide. The boss started asking me questions about expierence which I replied "I havnt had expierence in hospitality itself apart from Hungry Jacks in my teens but I did do a coffee making course" which to me is expierence to which he replied "So your not a Barista - if you dont have the expierence you cant be a Barista" then he started saying stuff about how he isnt a Barista (but he works making coffee" and it totally confused me.
Am I a Barista or not?????? this left me dumbfounded and kind of put me off. im considering rewording my resume :-/

The supervision is to help you gain experience in the workplace to woek under the usual busy cafe pressures, and the training is to improve your understanding, technical skill, and therefore the quality of your brews.
