Who is the course for?
The basic barista course aims to introduce the world of coffee to novice baristas, employees of cafes and coffee companies, and the general public with a deep interest in coffee, without the need for prior knowledge. This course differs from the barista course primarily in the final exam and subsequent certificate.
Why be SCA certified?
The certification is recognized worldwide and demonstrates basic theoretical and practical skills in the field. It is a great help in finding a job not only in our country, but also abroad. The SCA course curriculum is based on several years of research and collaborations with academic institutions and experts in fine coffee.

What will you learn?
In the theoretical part, the course participant will learn about the factors influencing the taste and quality of the resulting cup of coffee, such as terroir, processing, storage or roasting. Subsequently, we will discuss technologies related to coffee preparation and the theoretical part of setting the espresso recipe.
The practical part will then seamlessly follow up on the theoretical knowledge. Participants will learn to work with professional equipment of each café (coffee maker and grinder), will become familiar with the principles of their operation and settings, service tasks and daily maintenance. The main content will be the preparation of espresso, where the participant will try out changes to individual variables in the recipe and then the technique of frothing milk with the basics of latte art.
Course as a gift
Who will train you?
Our main lecturer at the doubleshot coffee school, Nikola Divincová, will guide you through the entire course. Nikola has been in the world of specialty coffee for more than ten years. During that time, she has gained a wealth of experience not only behind the coffee machine, but also by visiting farms and participating in global coffee fairs. She is also well-versed in the world of competitions - whether as a competitor, judge or coach. Coffee and the community around it have always interested her as a whole, so you may also know her from panel discussions or as a moderator. In addition to leading our coffee school and fully utilizing her pedagogical roots, she also co-creates the doubleshot podcast with Ondřej.
