RRS

Steph is so great, she's super approachable in all aspects of the course, practical help, quiz help and just general questions. She's both knowledgeable and transparent about the industry and shares her experience, and provides helpful feedback. You're not scared to mess up in front of her. The rest of the Serve It Up staff have also been super friendly, and are really understanding and accomodating to people's busy schedules. I genuinely enjoy coming into my course every week (even if I hate early mornings) because it's a very comfortable environment. The course itself is straightforward, all the information needed to pass the quizzes and assessments are included in the learning content, and any out-dated or confusing info can be clarified in class. The classes are engaging, easy to follow, and I enjoy how hands on all the pracs are as you quickly learn through repetition.

Absolutely amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend! Jim was an awesome teacher, very patient and made everyone feel welcome.
Made some awesome cocktails (and got to drink them at the end 😋).
Definitely worth doing!

Chelsea Lam

I’m blown away on how fun, supportive and easy the learning experience is here. My class had fun learning and making cocktails (which we got to drink after yay), overall it was a fun experience and good moneys worth. Also shout out to Jim, our teacher for the bar and service course, he was spectacular. This place needs more love it’s great for hospo babies.

Abby Lederman

This place is incredible! Jim is a legend and made us all feel very comfortable and took us through everything including cocktail making and responsibly serving alcohol. Absolutely amazing company I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for experience!

Ramy Sarkis

Completed my RSA with serve it up and was fortunate to have Stephanie as our teacher. Iv been in hospitality for over 17 years and wanted to give a special mention to Stephanie for her professional approach, pleasant attitude and top shelf patience.
Truly an asset to the serve it up crew. 🙂

Jimmy is an absolute gentleman also!

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!

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!

Megha Ch

Amazing experience. Lot of fun and lot of learning . Everyone who trained me was supportive. Accomodative enviornment. Highly recommend.

Ashley H

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.

Katie Driffield

super cool team & great learning space

Huss

Caroline Cassar

Ula B

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!

Andrew Rowan

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.

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 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. 😊

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. 💖

Me Me

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.

Caleb (Caleb Whittaker)

Really thorough and experienced teachers - could not ask for a better introduction

Ayesha Rege

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.

Sharvani Mehrish
