More about SCA

The training levels are categorized as Foundation, Intermediate, and Professional. Foundation is the starting point for those with no experience. If you’ve been working in hospitality for a while, or have experience as a barista or with a coffee machine, you can enter at Intermediate with a Foundation certificate. Professional is designed for those working as a barista for over a year with an Intermediate certificate.

Each training concludes with a practical and theory exam. Passing both exams awards you an SCA certificate.

Introduction to Coffee is a foundational course with more theory than practice, focusing on coffee facts and its surrounding world. This course involves only a theory exam, also resulting in a certificate.

For all SCA courses, you earn points: Foundation 5 points, Intermediate 10 points, Professional 25 points. Completing all courses (Barista, Brewing, Sensory, Green Coffee, Roastery) earns you an SCA Coffee Diploma.
