          WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SERVE IT UP

          I had called 4 or 5 different training organisations to enquire and ultimately book an RSA Course, to accommodate a student with that requires consideration and extra supports. It all seemed too hard until I made the call to Serve It Up.
          Jim was incredible, he made the process easy, he was patient, knowledgeable and helpful with making arrangements, to ensure the student is supported.
          Thank you!
          Serve It Up was amazing I’ve learnt a lot from Jim and Stephanie 😊❤️
          It was awesome Steph was amazing down to earth made learning easy
          The teachers were super knowledgeable, kind and attentive
          Enjoyed the Bar Ready Course I did. It was super accommodating, and the trainers were very encouraging and understanding. I enjoyed gaining new skills and learning new information. Would 100% recommend the courses at SIU to others.
          Amazing staff and great course 😊 100% would recommend if looking to fresh up on your skills and more
          I absolutely loved the coffee course!! It was super accommodating, as a neurodivergent person I felt very welcomed and encouraged by my trainers! I will recommend this course to any of my friends wanting to go into hospitality
          Amazing coursee!
          Amazing experience. Lot of fun and lot of learning . Everyone who trained me was supportive. Accomodative enviornment. Highly recommend.
          Went here to do some training in bartending. Was given a stupid enrolment form to complete that asked irrelevant ridiculous questions.
          You shouldn't have to answer maths questions to learn to pour drinks.
          Not accommodating for nerodivergent or people with specific learning issues is rubbish.
          super cool team & great learning space
          Very helpful staff and lots of information
          Highly recommended course excellent teaching and great experience
          One of the best experiences I have had while learning. All trainers and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend Serve It Up to anyone wanting to work in the hospitality industry.
          This is the right place to come if you want a good headstart in the hospitality industry. Trainers here are so nice and knowledgeable. Ben is absolutely a legend and Steph is super supportive and professional.
          I took a job ready barista course with Ben and Steph, and I must say it was truly wonderful! Now I actually do feel job ready, as the amazing instructors took us through all the steps of working in a cafe environment. The atmosphere was fun and laid back, the whole experience was greatly informative. I recommend it with my whole heart!
          I had an amazing experience working with serve it up the course was easy to understand and had incredible people teaching you the experience that they've gained over their time working the industry. I believe that it's worth investing time into them if you wish to have a better being introduced into hospitality.
          Thanks to the amazing instructors steph & ben . The course was very useful and packed with hands-on training and advice from these two industry experts
          Ben and Steph are amazing. They are knowledgeable and experienced. Demonstration in class is clear and easy to understand. I enjoyed the SIU course very much. So much joy!!! Highly recommend 👍🏻
          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.
          Nice teacher and supportive help full explain everything
          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.
          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. 😊
          Great location, close to the north Melbourne train station
          Great facility and amazing people
          WAS AMAZING I LOVED IT!!!!!
          Great course
          James was such an amazing instructor!
          I will definitely be back whenever I need to complete any other course.
          When I started the Barista Course, I had very limited knowledge about coffee. The Course trainers were very knowledgeable, exciting and patient. They taught us how to make 10 different coffees, coffee art, 3 various types of chai, and different cold coffee amongst other topics by 4th Day. I learnt so much about everything you will need to know about being a good barista and become job ready. Thank you. 💖
          I had so much fun with the Serve it Up crew! They taught me so much about hospitality, customer service, coffee making, cleaning and infection control! Steph R. was a great trainer, she was so nice and was happy to get in and help whenever we needed it which I personally needed and she was just great.
          Really thorough and experienced teachers - could not ask for a better introduction
          I did a 4-day barista course and had the absolute best experience. The trainers were so incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and I learnt so much not just about making coffee, but customer service, and infection control. The course really set me up for the highs and lows of the hospitality industry and I’m beyond grateful that I got to learn all these skills. Would highly recommend studying here.
          Great session and learning environment. Well done Steph R, Steph, Sophie, James n Ben!!! Loved the course and all the tips of the trade highly recommend SIU!!

          I am 3/4 through a barista course at Serve it Up, and I am loving it! It's a great course and I am learning heaps. Ben is the trainer on my course, and he is awesome and very knowledgeable. He is also really engaging and fun, and I am genuinely enjoying every day I come in for this course. Highly recommend!!
          The Coffee course I thought would be very difficult but Ben made the processe very easy understands and help me improve milk to froth ratio. would Diffenetly do it again as long Ben is taking the class.
