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.
