Barista Course Pascoe Vale

Serve It Up hospitality training has created a three-day barista course for Pascoe Vale called “Espress Yourself.” This barista certificate is based on the nationally accredited and government funded skill set: SITSS00048 – Espresso Machine Operation.

This is more than just a coffee making course. Serve It Up’s barista course covers:

  • How to make and serve espresso coffee and basic latte art
  • Food handlers’ certificate (Level 1)
  • Coffee machine setup and cleaning, using the grinder and extraction techniques
  • Using the Point of Sale (POS), processing payments, and competing reconciliation
  • How to provide quality customer service to internal and external customers, tips to exceed customer expectations, and handling complaints

Learning to make coffee takes time, this is why we deliver this course over three (3) full days. A single four-hour class will not be enough. Do not be fooled by other providers’ courses. We have numerous fully equipped rooms for our barista courses with multiple coffees machines per room. You will have time, space, and support from expert trainers to help you start your journey to becoming a barista.

On completion of the barista course for Pascoe Vale, you will receive a barista certificated for the skill set SITSS00048 – Espresso Machine Operation, which includes the nationally accredited units of competency:

  • SITXFSA001 – Use Hygienic Practices for Food Safety – Food Handlers certificate
  • SITXCCS006 – Provide Service to Customers
  • SITHFAB005 – Prepare and Serve Espresso Coffee – * Pre-requisite SITXFSA001 – Use Hygienic Practices For Food Safety
  • SITXFIN001 – Process Financial Transactions

* This course is superseded & will be transitioned to the new release if not completed by 8th June 2023.

Highly recommend 👍🏻Tien VuTien Vu ★★★★★ Ashley WAshley W ★★★★★ Amazing experience with the energetic and vibrant instructors at Serve It Up in West Melbourne. Had a lot of fun and learnt so much during the 3-day Coffee Course.Kiranjit KaurKiranjit Kaur ★★★★★ Nice teacher and supportive help full explain everythingbihye //bihye // ★★★★★ Jason KellyJason Kelly ★★★★☆ I did my espresso coffee, infection control and RSA with SIU. They were thorough, informative, experienced and the coffee course involved plenty of actual practice with the machines, using a pretty nice blend and actual milk and alternative milks, so if you’re into coffee you can pretty much drink unlimited amounts throughout the day. 🤪 They also gave out free lunch, but there’s a cafe downstairs if you’re still hungry. Enjoyed my 5 days there and I’d def recommend the training, although it took a few weeks for them to send the certificate afterwards.Julia TanJulia Tan ★★★★★ I recently completed a 4-day barista course (Coffee + Job-Ready Ticket) and I couldn't be happier with the experience!The instructors, Steph A, Tash, Sophie, and Steph R, were absolutely phenomenal. Each one brought their own unique expertise and shared their knowledge down to the simplest details, making the learning process both comprehensive and enjoyable.From the fundamentals of coffee-making to advanced techniques, they covered everything with clarity and patience. Their passion for good coffee, hospitality, customer service and dedication to teaching were truly inspiring. The practical, hands-on approach of the course provided us with invaluable job-ready skills and boosted our confidence in pursuing careers in the coffee/hospitality industry.The course not only equipped us with the technical know-how but also gave us the right push to continue learning and growing in this field. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning the ways of espresso-making, customer service, food handling and safety with infection control guidance. It's a perfect blend of theory and practice, guided by exceptional instructors who genuinely care about your progress and success. 😊Daisy's AdventuresDaisy's Adventures ★★★★★ Great location, close to the north Melbourne train stationGreat facility and amazing peopleMatii AkawaqMatii Akawaq ★★★★★ WAS AMAZING I LOVED IT!!!!!Lachlan HillLachlan Hill ★★★★★ Great courseJames was such an amazing instructor!I will definitely be back whenever I need to complete any other course.Benjamin DobsonBenjamin Dobson ★★★★★ Catherine AL KohCatherine AL Koh ★★★★★ When I started the Barista Course, I had very limited knowledge about coffee.
