is pretty bold. Have you taken the class? Do you know the caliber of teacher or their material? (I don't, I am asking). I just don't want an unnecessary slam against what may be good beginner material to dissuade someone from learning."You would be better off skipping Coffeefest in favor of some one-on-one time with somebody that knows what they're doing"

To be certified as a world class barista by the I.A.S.C., baristi must pass both a written test and a simulated cafe barista techniques test. Please Note: The standards are extremely high. Passing the test to become certified requires a great amount of hands-on experience to demonstrate your proficiency, skills, and techniques.
haytoniaho said:Hey Andrew, I was looking at your website--barista training for commercial clients, do you know of any other places (like in NJ or PA by any chance) that offer training for individuals, not necessarily business owners. What I'm trying to ask is are these seminars you all are discussing only for businesses who wish to train their staffs? or can individuals interested in coffee and coffee preparation (for fun?) attend? :shock:
