Owned by Five Senses and developed to help our wholesale partners achieve the very best from their coffee, the Australian Barista Academies operate in both Melbourne and Perth.
Catering to both the passionate home aficionado and the professional barista, the academy is staffed with serious coffee talent. Australian Barista Academy instructors have collectively won over 20 barista competition awards and are experts in their field. Class sizes are kept to a minimum; consequently each participant receives individual attention and maximum instruction.
So whether you are totally new to great coffee and want to learn the skills from the ground up, or a professional barista with years of experience who wants to up-skill and keep impressing, we have a range of courses designed to meet every need. Other options include dazzling with latte art, discussing the route from origin to cup or dissecting the range of alternate brewing methods.
State-of-the-art equipment and fresh Five Senses coffee at the ABAs mean that barista training can also be a great gift idea for the home coffee lover, a welcome boost for the professional barista or a fantastic head start for those new to the industry. Not to mention a unique corporate day out or team building event.
Visit the Australian Barista Academy website for more information, fresh testimonies from participants or to explore the range of courses on offer.
