Coffee Skills Program

 
 

What’s it all about?

The official education program of the SCA consists of education in the following specialties within the coffee industry:

  • Introduction to Coffee

  • Barista Skills

  • Brewing

  • Green Coffee

  • Sensory Skills

  • Roasting

Together, these modules of learning are known as the SCA Coffee Skills Program. Students can take advantage of learning through three stages of knowledge and skills in each module: Foundation, Intermediate and Professional. 

 

Find courses

All courses are taught by Approved SCA Trainers (ASTs) who are licensed to instruct to the SCA’s standards. Courses can either be taken at Premier Training Campuses or at other locations. Foundation courses can also be taken through distance learning with an AST. You can find these courses by using the DISTANCE LEARNING filter on the SCA Course Calendar.
