Program

The professional sensory module can hardly be called a course. In fact, practical and theoretical parts intersect in a continuous confrontation between trainer and student.

The goals are

  • Align the student with the standards of the coffee market
  • Refine the ability to identify and evaluate the green coffee organoleptic profiles until to recognize a specialty coffee.
  • Accurately measure and describe the characteristics of the coffee using technical terminology
  • Learn to generate repeatable sensory measurements and interpret the results.
  • Being able to assume the role of panel leader in a coffee company.

 

* SCA suggests that you have already taken part in the SCA Green foundation level to take this exam. It is also required to have taken part in the intermediate sensory level at least three months before.

 

At the end of this course it is possible to take part to the SCA Sensory Professional level certification. Anyone wishing to take part in the certification exams are asked to report it to us when registering for the course. In our school you can also book Brewing Intermediate and Professional certifications. For more info on SCA certifications, consult this page.
