Training Courses
At First Shot Barista Training, we understand how competitive the coffee market is in Australia. More than simply receiving a certificate, our Sydney-based barista coffee school teaches baristas about the complex art of coffee-making, from understanding how the coffee is grown to optimising your machines, perfecting your milk frothing technique, mastering your workflow and creating latte art. We are the first coffee school in Australia to help our students connect with cafes. We do not only teach beginners but also do a lot of competition coaching, green bean buying, quality control & business consultation.

Mastering these models will enable you to easily transfer your skills to any machine used by current and future employers.

Our holistic approach covers practical skills like brewing science, maintenance, latte art, and workflow as well as hospitality skills to help you succeed in interviews. We have a strict scoring system to ensure quality; we don’t just hand out certificates.
Small classes for focused training

Questions
Is it easy to get a job? Is one course enough?
For the quality we offer, our courses are very cheap! Imagine paying $150-$300 for a quick 2-5 hour course with 10 other people, old machines, and hardly any milk to practice. After that, all you get is a piece of paper and no real coffee skills. That is expensive for nothing. Now, with us, it’s different. We give you over 14+ hours of training in small groups of 2-6, using very expensive equipment and all the coffee and milk you need to practice. Plus, if you’re a Premium student, you get an extra 3 months to practice – something others charge $50 an hour for. We even help you find a job with our partners and job hunting platform https://firstshotbaristatraining.com.au/find-a-barista/, using part of your fee to support your own job search. Try to find another place offering all this for less than $1000. Good luck! Beside, our advanced courses are only between $99-$150 in a small group (2-6) students which are also more affordable than any other centers. We care for you!
