Students complete barista training
The successful students - Laura Skene, Lee Casson, Jack Ancell, and Thomas Jenkins - all felt that this would be a good skill to add to their CVs, particularly when they begin to seek employment. The two-day course covers the history of teas and their categories, as well as coffee production. Students were trained in how to create various drinks including teas, coffees (including Lattes, Cappucinos and Espressos), hot chocolates, juices and smoothies.
Laura commented that following the Barista training she is more particular about the temperature of the milk in her coffee. Thomas added that he notices the quality - both good and bad - of coffees at cafes and restaurants much more since completing the course.
