The Professional Barista Skills Course takes place, as per SCA protocol, in three intense days of training and above all practical tests. The goal is in fact to reach an all-round professional level, able to communicate with the trainer and to know in depth every step of the supply chain, from the plant to the final cup. A professional, a coffee chef with a very high level approach
Passing the SCA Professional exam allows you to get 25 points for the SCA Coffee Skills Program diploma.

Program
This Professional course is structured not so much as a trainer> student training process, but as a real path of exchange and experience.
Starting with a coffee proposed by the trainer and one brought by the student, we proceed to various extractions, changes to the setting, measurements with the refractometer and discussions, until the perfect cup is found.
We work on the extraction temperature and mineral contents of the water. Also we vary the machine pressures with different profiles of pre-infusion and extraction
We work on different types of water filters understanding how they affect the result in the cup.
We work on the management aspects: the layout of the counter, order management and food cost
Latte art at a high level!
Ability to perform water hardness measurements and to perform equipment maintenance work (burrs replacing, change of seals and showers and so on…)
* SCA suggests that you have already taken the SCA Sensory Intermediate level to take this exam. It is also required to have taken part in the Barista Skills intermediate level at least three months before.
