Trainee & Mentoring Program

The trainee and mentoring program is unique to the Sydney Coffee Centre (SCC). Although formal training courses lay a great foundation and direction for those entering into the profession, the SCC have found that in some cases, training participants lack essential experience in the 'real cafe' environment to gain employment as a professional barista. Being trained in a controlled environment like a training facility has it's advantages but this changes dramatically when the pressures of customer demands and  the time constraints are added.  Sydney coffee centre has designed this program that will ensure the trainee gets the necessary skills and confidence to gain employment and meet the expectations of cafe operators and customers alike.

The Trainee/mentoring format consists of the following .....

 Before, during and after each training, the candidate will engage in work experience in the SCC espresso bar. The practical experience in a 'real cafe' environment will establish and confirm all the training that is given during the courses.

At the completion of the program the candidate will be presented with a certificate and earn a minimum of a rating and will potentially be placed into a cafe seeking trained barista's in the marketplace.

What makes this system so unique is the opportunity to be mentored by Class 1 Barista's and each trainee can confidently enter the profession preparing and serving quality espresso beverages.

The goal of the Sydney Coffee Centre is to place well trained, confident barista's into varying cafe enterprises preparing and serve the utmost quality espresso beverages in Sydney.

Be a part of this exciting change!
