Coffee Barista Training Courses
Absolute Coffee puts a tremendous amount of time and effort in barista training. We run barista courses everyday of the week all over the UK.
The coffee courses are fun and made up of small groups or 1 on 1 training and we always teach you latte art. Most of the training courses however are 1-on-1 ensuring that you receive our trainers full and undivided attention.

Our Barista training Courses
In just a few hours we will teach you all about the production of coffee and the basics of coffee roasting. You will master our 4 easy steps to the perfect espresso, learn the workings and importance of coffee grinders and the espresso coffee machines, including cleaning procedures.
With the 4 easy steps accomplished and your new found coffee knowledge, we will show you how to produce all the drinks on the barista's menu and perfect your milk steaming technique.
The Caffe Latte and Cappuccino are becoming more and more popular and therefore we focus a great deal of time in the barista training on these drinks. Milk steaming is practiced a lot by everybody on our coffee courses. And we answer the big question: What is the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?
To top off your coffee experience we will introduce you to Latte Art. Enjoy learning how to pour hearts on top of your drinks.
All the barista courses include latte art training. Our trainer has trained many people in the skill of latte art and can teach anybody how to pour hearts and rosetta's. You will also learn different designs with the skill of etching. A very fun course and extremely useful for anybody. Latte art really impresses your customers and is a great way to motivate staff. The barista course will teach you how to steam beautiful creamy milk without big bubbles and we introduce you to the heart pattern as well. There is a latte art course for those who want to learn more.
Barista training course
Barista training in a real coffee shop at a relaxed location in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Enjoy learning about coffee in a relaxed atmosphere and with the benefit of experiencing two different espresso machines. We have installed an espresso machine dedicated for barista training on the second floor.
The barista training courses here are run any day of the week from Monday till Friday.
Every course is booked especially for one customer at a time. Benefit from having the full attention of the barista trainer to maximise your learning experience.
The training is held separately from the coffee shop so there will be no interruption during the course.
The cost of this amazing barista course is only £85.00 for the full day. Courses start at 10am (although this time is flexible for your convenience) and we usually finish around 3pm. And remember, a maximum of 2 students per course.
The barista course is about you and this means that you will be one making most of the coffees. The trainer simply demonstrates yet it will be you that pulls the shots, steams the milk and pours the drinks. The more coffees you make, the better the result.
Latte art training course
We are also running latte art courses here any day of the week. These are full day course for £85.00 and are designed to learn all about milk steaming, free pour and etching. We can teach you hearts, rosettas, apples, tulips, double rosettas, triple rosettas and more. Of course it would be good if you have some experience already although this is not required.
The latte art course is extremely fun and very useful for the somewhat advanced baristas. And the latte art course is held with 2 people maximum at a time, just like the barista course. In-house latte art training course can be done in bigger groups, we simply split up the group in teams of 2 at a time.
If you are looking for a way to improve your barista skills then this might just be the course for you. It has a big impact on your customers and the drink standard overall will definitely improve.
In house training
On-site or in-house barista training anywhere in the UK.
Of course we are more than happy to come over to you for in-house training.
In-house training might be the better option for you if you have a large number of staff that need to attend the training courses.
The on-site barista training can be done in groups of 2 throughout the day. You will have the barista trainer with you for the full day and we can split the days in 30 mins intervals for example. This way we can train a large number of staff and usually we have everybody pouring hearts on caffe lattes and delicious creamy cappuccinos.
If you are looking for a way to motivate your staff then this is it!
In-house training starts from as little as £149.00 for the full day for an unlimited amount of staff.
Our Barista Trainer
The barista courses are run by Youri Vlag. Youri has years of experience in the coffee industry, having previously worked as a barista, a coffee shop manager and barista trainer.
The training is about you and not about the trainer. There is no talk about how great the barista trainer is and it will not be the trainer who makes most of the coffees. The job of the barista trainer is to teach and to demonstrate, not to show off his his or her skills. With our barista training you will be the one making the coffee.
There is a real art to teaching and being an excellent barista doesn't necessarily mean that you can teach. We have worked hard on the skill of teaching and our years of experience have helped us a lot with that.
Our trainers are friendly and have a passion for teaching as well as for the coffee. You will feel relaxed and at ease during the training course and no question is a wrong question. Feeling at ease is very important for learning and we will do our best to make sure that you feel relaxed and comfortable.
On site Barista Training
Let us bring our skills and knowledge to you. Sometimes it can be difficult to get all your staff trained. Bringing in an experienced barista trainer can have a massive positive effect on your staff. We will make sure that your staff understand coffee and they will be more motivated after the training. On-site barista training can greatly improve the quality of the coffee served in your coffee shop.
