What’s Happening This Week?

We’re thrilled to introduce a new single-origin coffee in our training sessions: Rwanda Anastase Minani from Dimattina Coffee. 

Grown in the Gakenke District at an impressive 1960 meters above sea level, this washed Red Bourbon variety is a true delight. We’ve been loving the vibrant notes of wild berries and red apple that shine through in every brew. Our brewing students are enjoying the opportunity to work with such a standout coffee!

A big thank you to the fantastic teams we’ve been training this month: Minlaton Bakery, Whyalla Central Deli, The Village Baker and Gather & Grounds Cafe in Glenelg. It’s always exciting to see such passion for coffee and skill development.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers
What makes the HG Coffee School Different?

Quality training.  Doesn’t sound like a serious point of difference, but it should be your most important consideration.   Do your training once and do it right.  Many of our students have previously done barista training elsewhere only to be told by a prospective employer that their methods are dated and their knowledge isn’t sufficient for the role.  We teach modern techniques, on modern equipment.  

Are your courses nationally recognised?

Yes! We deliver the most up to date accredited units SITHFAB025 Prepare and serve espresso coffee and SITXFSA005 Use hygienic practices for food safety

Find more information on our Nationally Recognised courses at: https://hgcoffee.com.au/course/sithfab025-prepare-and-serve-espresso-coffeeel-1-food-safety-training/

We only recommend this for those who will likely undertake in further study in Hospitality i.e. Certificate I, II, or III in Hospitality Management.  In doing so you will have recognition of prior learning in these units.

If you’re learning to make coffee for employment this upgrade is unnecessary, as employers only interview and employ against your ability to make good coffee.

The Statement of Attainment is a transcript of the two accredited units that you will complete during your training with us.

SITHFAB025 – Prepare and serve espresso coffee
SITXFSA005 – Use hygienic practices for food safety

This is delivered under a Third Party Agreement with Time Education and Training RTO:40058.
Upon successfully completing these units, individuals will receive a ‘Statement of Attainment’ issued by Time Education and Training RTO: 40058, the Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

To have your training registered please contact us prior to making your booking. 

Is the Barista Level 2 course nationally recognised?

No, there is currently no nationally recognised programme for advanced barista training. We offer the advanced barista course for those who want to fine tune their skills and gain further confidence behind the coffee machine. Our focus in the advanced barista course is to teach you how to work under pressure, learn new techniques and equipment, and introduce you to latte art. Certificates of attainment from HG Coffee School are given to all students who complete the course.

How old do students need to be to enroll in a barista course?

We generally find that students 12 years and up have no trouble at all in learning and making amazing coffee with us.  As a rule if you can pour a cup of tea at home confidently you’ll have no trouble.  If in doubt don’t hesitate to contact us.

Will I learn to make all varieties of coffees?

Absolutely! It is important that all baristas have a solid understanding of the full coffee menu and any known variation amongst each variety.

I've been making coffee for years now and just need to refresh my skills, what do you suggest?

 

There have been so many recent changes and innovation in coffee making and its presentation that many people find they’ve been left behind. We suggest starting with barista basics, where we can explain the reason we do what we do behind the coffee machine, new style and presentation of coffee and any techniques you might be unfamiliar with. For those with recent training who want to learn how to handle a high pressure environment, multitask and present customers with beautiful latte art we suggest the advanced course.

I have never made coffee before, can I still do your barista level 1 course?

Absolutely! In fact this course is designed for those with no knowledge of coffee at all. For those with experience with coffee, this course will fill in all the gaps in your coffee knowledge and give you time to master the fundamentals of coffee.

I do not have a credit card, can I still book into the courses?

Yes, you can send us an e-mail or call us with the course you would like to book into and we can make arrangements for you to pay with cash or a bank card on the day, direct bank deposit into our accounts or pay via credit card over the phone if you are unsure of the website payment system.

What should I wear to the course?

We recommend comfortable clothing and enclosed comfortable shoes, things might get messy 🙂
