How Will You Learn?
Trained with a well-structured program
Embark on a truly unique coffee journey with us. Our training promises to be not only educational but also the most fun you'll have. We mean it!
Methodology
We start by delving into the diverse attributes of coffee, unraveling its complexities and nuances.
From there, we present an array of 4-5 distinct coffee varieties, spanning from affordable $13 per kilo options to luxurious selections priced at $800 per kilo, showcasing the full spectrum of flavors and qualities.
Easy To Use Framework
Our unique framework, a simplified version of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol, forms the backbone of our analysis. Through this structured approach, you'll learn to discern and appreciate the subtleties of each brew, honing your tasting skills with precision and clarity.
Good Fun
But it's not all serious business. At the end of each session, we incorporate mini-games designed to reinforce your newfound knowledge in an engaging and enjoyable manner. With our program, learning about coffee is not just educational—it's a delightful experience from start to finish.
The Experience Our Alumni Had With Us

I couldn't be happier about my training with Simon! I found his information really valuable and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to update their knowledge about coffee standards in Australia or who is just starting their career as a barista

Highly recommend this course for everyone, especially who’s living in Sydney area and wants to find a barista job or just interested in coffee art. The trainer Nguyen Le is super super friendly, enthusiastic and I can see that he really wants to express his passion about coffee to everybody around. He also provided me some useful tips and experience which are really important for a new guy like me. Another trainer, Viet Nguyen, is awesome as well. He’s really dedicated in the class and also enthusiastically reminds his students to do some revisions at home.
Overall, although there are plenty of options to find a good barista course in Sydney but this one I think is one of the best to consider.

Amazing training from Lee, so passionate about his craft. We were short for time and Lee managed to fit us into his schedule. Can’t recommend him enough. The attention to detail and the amount of time we had on the machine was beyond our expectation. Thank you Lee, we will keep practicing our heavy pour tulips.

Le was such an amazing trainer: super friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and very supportive! Although I’ve had a bit of experience in making coffee previously, thanks to his helping me point out my strengths and weaknesses, I can see that my skills have been improved remarkably. Besides, I love that there are only 2 students per class, which made the course more personalised (though affordable fee) and also really assisted in achieving the highest training quality.
Once again, thank you so much Lee, and to anyone out there who’s looking for a credible barista training course, I highly recommend First Shot Barista Training!

Really good quality course! Nguyen Le was taught really well from the basics of how to make a good coffee until how to get a job from small things that we never thought. He is also so motivated and open-minded. Really enjoy the course, thank you!
