The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) holds Barista Foundation classes that starts at $700 to $900 per person, while other coffee companies charge from $280 to $500 for a Basic Barista 101 Class. Since this is a private, 1-on-1 training using your own equipment and tools at your location (home or cafe), price will start as follows:
$150 per person (minimum 2 people per session, $300 total)
Duration: Up to 3 hours
Available within the Toronto area (additional $25-$50 if outside Toronto, within GTA)
Small class size = personalized attention and plenty of hands-on practice
Over the past 10 years as a coffee business owner and franchisor of 20+ cafe outlets, coffee educator, professional barista trainer and competitive brewer, I have developed and refined a training program that has helped hundreds of professional and home baristas brew a better cup of coffee at work and at home.
