The Barista Fundamentals are four core courses designed to launch the career of Baristas and cafe owners to be. These 4 four courses, taken as 1 coffee-knowledge course and a 3-part espresso and milk steaming course series, will provide a core foundation of knowledge as well as a practical tool kit to use in any commercial espresso bar setting. This course is designed to mirror the body of knowledge required to complete the Barista Guild of America's Level 1 certification, a nationally recognized credential for professional baristas.
Each course in the series is 3 hours in length and is limited to 5 students to ensure ample time for practice, dialogue, and constructive feedback on individual progress. Students who complete the Level 1 series also receive 2 books, 1 Latte Art DVD, and several handouts with practical information to bring back to their cafe.
Who should take this course:
Baristas new to the industry
Cafe owners to be
Professional baristas seeking to pass the BGA Level 1 exam
Barista trainers and advanced baristas seeking a comprehensive refresher and further skills for improved internal trainings
Home baristas looking for the most comprehensive approach to espresso preparation
When baristas have completed this series, baristas will:
Practice proper maintenance procedures for espresso machines and grinders
Taste, evaluate and prepare espressos to Specialty Coffee Association of America standards
Properly steam milk and pour latte art
In addition, students who complete this course and pass the BGA level 1 exam can save cafes an average of $9000 per year by developing skills that reduce waste and increase speed behind the espresso bar. These courses establish a thorough training foundation for smaller cafes seeking to save time and expenses related to training and offer a substantial return on investment. For Job-seeking baristas, these courses advance your credentials and gives your resume an advantage above the competition. Show your employers your dedication to the craft by earning your BGA Level 1 certification and pursuing further professional development, and watch your job prospects grow! TampTamp offers the BGA Level I exam to anyone who would like to take it. RSVP here.
