Coffee Courses for Baristas
COFFEE COURSES FOR BARISTAS | INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION ISO 9001:2015
The barista — or, as it is sometimes called today, “barista coffee” — is a highly specialized professional who, in order to perform their duties in a bar or café, requires specific training. If you want to enter the coffee sector as a barista, what you need is a recognized course that teaches you all the essential knowledge to start working right away. MIXOLOGY Academy is internationally certified for the design and delivery of coffee courses for baristas and, precisely as an Academy, in our facilities you will have the opportunity to practice and perfect your skills for up to 12 months (or more) by optionally enrolling in our Academic Year program.
On this page you will find both the Professional Coffee Course, particularly suited for people with no prior experience who intend to start working as a barista, and the certified course to become a Coffee Master, featuring a complete program that includes both the basics and the most advanced levels. Alternatively, if you are already a barista, at MIXOLOGY Academy you can specialize through our Latte Art and Coffee Lab (filter coffee) courses.
Thousands of people from every continent have already chosen one of our barista coffee courses, and the MIXOLOGY Academies in Rome and Milan are the largest in Italy and abroad in this field. Official data show that in the past five years, thanks to the Global Bartending method created by the Academy’s Master Trainers, more than 9 out of 10 students found employment within 3 months of certification with us. In 2022, this extraordinary statistic reached 98.19%, with a 100% employment rate for students who completed the “Global Bartender” program.
BARISTA COFFEE
Thanks to this barista coffee course, regardless of your age and even if you have no prior experience, you will learn how to work behind a bar counter (mainly daytime shifts), preparing regular and specialty coffees, café lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and hot chocolates. The Professional Coffee Course is ideal for starting a career in this sector, providing you with excellent (and above all) practical and theoretical foundations.
LATTE ART
This module is the next step after the Professional Coffee Course, focusing on milk foam handling and the literally ‘artistic’ decoration of cappuccinos, raising the level of professionalism for bartenders or daytime baristas. Within the Latte Art Course program, progressively more advanced techniques are taught for baristas who want to decorate cappuccinos using toppings, the latte art pen, or freehand through the Etching technique.
9 out of 10 students find a job within 3 months after certification
In recent years, more than 9 out of 10 of the thousands of students who trained with us have found employment in Italy or abroad within 3 months of completing one of our courses. These outstanding results are a direct consequence of our teaching method, which turns trainees into highly sought-after professionals even before they have obtained our Certificate. Credit also goes to Bartender JOB, our in-house agency which, through its job portal filled with offers, will help you find new employment opportunities free of charge both during and after your training with us.
Whether you want to become a bartender from scratch or specialize further in the field, thanks to the free guidance of one of our Tutors you will discover the bartending course best suited to your professional growth!
