Overview

There was a saying, “People say money can’t buy happiness. They lie. Money buys coffee; coffee makes me happy.” No wonder 61% of Malaysians claim to be regular coffee drinkers. As the coffee culture is here to stay, so is the barista's career, which creates happiness for coffee drinkers. So if you are interested in preparing latte, mocha, americano, etc., this program suits you. With this qualification, you'll gain the knowledge and skills to prepare and serve hot and cold drinks in any environment. A qualification in Barista Skills is for a person who works as or wants to work as a barista. You don't need any experience. You may already be working in the hospitality industry, but it's not a requirement to take this qualification. We recommend that you have access to an espresso machine and grinder to practice making drinks in your own time.
