    Kept my interest and was informative and provided the necessary skills they I was hoping for from the class. Looking forward to taking Part 2 next week.

    I couldn't attend your course due to the lack of ADA compliance at your facility. Additionally, the instructor made derogatory statements about disabilities, suggesting that I must be able to walk to make coffee and implying that my hands should be functional. Unfortunately, he didn't apologize or make any efforts to accommodate my needs. The facility's lack of ADA compliance, coupled with obstacles like cars and chairs blocking the entry, indicates a failure to address previous legal concerns regarding ADA compliance. This non-compliance by the college is unacceptable.

    The class was very informative and hands on. Be ready to make an expresó.

    The class was a really fun learning experience & was easier than I thought. The people who attended were super friendly & the instructor was very helpful. I enjoyed learning how to operate the machines.

    Class wasn't very structured and didn't cover much material. There was a lot of dead time. There was much more material that the teacher could have taught the class given the four-hour class duration.
  • Barista Training for Beginners Part 1

    Class was good, learned how operate equipment, clean, make diff. Drinks do designs in drinks and learned more about coffee.

    The class was great for when i was there. I had an emergency situation come up so i had to leave about 90 minutes early. More clear directions to the building and classroom would have been nice. Having the equipment setup in advance would have been nice to consolidate the class. The instructor Sven was great.

    We should introduce each other on our class before we start . Also the teacher, aside from that more fun and educational love it and I learned about coffee!!!

    Do not take this class. You can get more information from a YouTube video. The instructor only knows how to brew one thing (an espresso shot) and has no coffee knowledge what so ever. He couldn't tell us ratios when making an espresso and recommended using pods instead of whole bean coffee. He showed up with dirty equipment. You come out of the class knowing how to brew a shot of espresso and that's it. I'd be embarrassed to take his certificate when applying for a job as he didn't teach any other drinks other than the espresso shot. Bottom line save your money or go to a reputable class.
