Barista Training – Its Many Benefits for Your CV!

Barista Training – Its Many Benefits for Your CV!

Are you looking to update your CV? Have you considered how Sydney barista training could take your employability to the next level?

Barista training is a great investment into your future – and it delivers much more than just the basic skills you need to make great coffee at home or to work in a café.

The Coffee Experience

Coffee isn’t just something we drink to quench our thirst or wake us up in the morning. It is an experience.

There’s arguably not much worse than a bad cup of coffee. Only a skilled barista can deliver the best possible coffee experience (we deserve this – and, after all, are paying for it) and, while it’s true that anyone can learn on the job or as they practise at home, taking a barista course is going to provide an array of benefits and give you an edge over others when it comes to impressing your customers or competing for that job you want.

Making great coffee is both an art and a science – and the right barista training course will help you understand the entire process from bean to cup, including everything from particular flavour profiles to milk texturing, non-dairy alternatives, presentation, and a lot more.

What’s Included in Barista Training?

Depending on which course you choose, training may include:

  • Coffee and coffee beans selection – origins, varieties, influence on flavour profiles
  • Grinding Techniques – size and consistency
  • Brewing Methods – including ratios, temperatures, and extraction
  • Espresso machine operation and maintenance
  • Milk frothing, texturing, and pouring
  • Latte art
  • Recipes
  • Workflow efficiency and time management
  • Innovation and experimentation

 

The Benefits of Barista Training

  1. Bolster Your Resume/CV

Baristas are in high demand. This type of training is a great addition to your resume or CV. Not only does it look good, but it also shows you have a particular skillset that employers across many different types of workplaces actively seek. Whether you’re a high school student looking for your first casual job, a middle-aged or older person looking to re-enter the workforce after a break, or anyone in between, having a completed barista course on your resume is only going to stand you in good stead and help you shine amongst your competition.

  1. Build Your Confidence & Skills

Learning in a supportive practical environment with expert trainers is the ideal way to build confidence. Having a new skill is also a great confidence booster – and confidence is half the battle when you’re on the job hunt! It’s also an effective way to stand out and perform well in your workplace or other service environment.

  1. Learn Professional Techniques

While it’s true that many people train “on the job”, it’s much better to learn how to make coffee professionally, using the right techniques from the outset. There are so many different ways to present coffee (café latte, flat white, cappuccino, macchiato, long black, espresso, Americano, Vienna … the list goes on) and techniques from basic to advanced. Learning properly from the first cup you brew is ideal.

  1. Build Your Experience

Every customer knows the difference between an experienced barista and a “newbie” who is slower, flustered, or fumbling their way through orders in a busy café or restaurant environment. A face-to-face barista course provides participants with the practise required in a controlled environment and with support and helpful feedback. You will gain valuable insight into the areas you need to focus on more and do so before you serve a “real” customer – after all, practise makes perfect!

  1. Open a World of Opportunities

Coffee is more popular than ever and barista training can open many doors for you. With the skills to optimise the coffee experience for consumers everywhere and from all walks of life, you can embark on new experiences, meet new people, and equip yourself with a valuable skillset to gain employment while you travel to a vast number of places worldwide.
