Multiple Levels - Cafe Barista Level 1- Canberra

The ONA Coffee Ultimate Cafe Barista Course is designed to open your eyes to the world of coffee and give you an intensive two part workshop providing the necessary skills to go out and get that cafe barista job you wanted.

ONA Coffee supplies cafe businesses around Australia and the world as well as running leading cafes that push the boundaries of coffee service. With this wealth of experience we will teach you the essential skills of becoming a cafe barista.

We will equip you with the technical skills to competently operate an espresso machine. The variables are endless, however, there are three main areas to focus on that can make or break a coffee from cup to cup; Extractions, Milk Stretching & Pouring. 

By the end of this course, you will have a greater understanding of the correct way to perform these skills. You will then experience workflow and service mimicking a cafe as well as basic setup and pack-down procedures required of a barista.

This course is jam packed and will provide you with that necessary base to becoming a cafe barista.
