The Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) is a non-profit organisation that represents thousands of coffee professionals around the world from producers to baristas. They offer a Coffee Skills Program which consists of six different modules, with points attached at each stage.

This Coffee Course (1 day) provides you with the skills you need to pass the SCA Introduction to Coffee module. If you wish to option the SCA certificate and earn 10 points towards your Coffee Skills Diploma, you can book the exam through EBS. The exam which costs €60, will take place under supervision of an SCA authorised trainer on a specified date after your EBS course.

Please note that sitting the SCA exam is entirely optional.

In this comprehensive 1-day course, our expert instructors will teach you the essential Italian barista skills and brewing techniques through hands-on training. You’ll learn how to make and serve the perfect espresso, macchiato, cappuccino and more behind your own purpose-built barista station.

Not only will you be able to impress your friends with your amazing coffee-making skills and knowledge, you’ll know how to use all the coffee equipment like a pro and start working in a cafe with confidence.

To attend an EBS course you need to be 18 years old the moment the course starts. You can attend a course at EBS Kos or EBS Phuket if you are 17 years old and have your parent/guardian’s written permission.

If you are looking to take a course with EBS Las Vegas, EBS New York or EBS Miami you need to be 21 years old to be able to drink alcoholic drinks. You can attend a course in the USA if you are between 18 and 21 years old as you will still be able to learn all the elements of the course due to our training methods. If you are under 21 years old, you will not be able to take part in some of the organised events outside of school hours as they involve drinking alcoholic drinks.

You will need money for food and drinks at your destination. Some schools offer food packages so you can have your meals prepared and cooked for you at your destination, all for a great price.

The schools also arrange other activities for you to enjoy outside of school hours that incur a cost, it’s good to put some money aside for these as well.

The course price covers your industry-leading bartending education and study materials for the duration of your course. Most of our schools also arrange free activities for you to take part in, these activities differ between schools but you can check them out on the ‘Student Life’ tab.
