I would like to show my appreciation to the Lisa F. and Siva who are the instructors of the 3 hr. Barista basic course and the 2 hr. coffee art + safety & hygiene session. Honestly I did not have high expectations of the course as I thought these hands-on workshops will be really ordinary. I was wrong! Lisa's delivery of the content was well paced, clear and concise. She is amicable with a cheerful and positive demeanor. The instructions were clear and the important points were reiterated appropriately. I learnt so much during the session and felt confident in administering the skill (e.g. milk texturing) I have acquired during the course in a business environment competently. The practical exercises involving making one type of coffee and turning into another type is very useful. As for the afternoon session, Siva was great! He is humorous and with impressive demonstration skills. All in all, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested to learn about Barista basics. Thanks again to Lisa and Siva. Much appreciated....

I feel it would be better if there are less students in the class (1 instructor to 12 students plus 2 other facilitators). It’s real fun though - we get to make 20-30 espresso-based coffees in the morning, and made at 12 cups with coffee art in...
Read moreYou will experience great tuition at CBD College, whether you’re a keen at home barista or looking to get work in a cafe. The staff are really friendly and helpful, as well as being experienced skilled Baristas themselves. I attended a Sunday session with my youngest son, I was looking to improve my home Barista skills, and my son was looking to improve his employment opportunities.😊😊 We completed both the Barista skills and the latte art classes, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their Barista skills. Due to some great tuition the attached photo is of my first ever attempt at some latte art… hopefully I will improve...
