NVQ Level 2 City & Guilds Course in Barista Skills

Barista skills can be developed and rewarded by an internationally recognised qualification – the City & Guilds Barista Level 2 VRQ (Vocational Related Qualification). A VRQ is similar to a GCSE but is directly workplace related. The qualification involves both classroom-based learning as well as the craft skills required for a Professional Barista. A ‘Level 2’ qualification indicates an introductory level knowledge.

The qualification centres on coffee and in particular espresso; however it also incorporates filter coffee; tea; chocolate; juices and smoothies. Four areas of learning are explored: -

• The background to the raw materials
• How to produce the range of drinks
• How to operate, care for and maintain the machinery
• Customer Service

The information is passed on through a minimum of 20 hours classroom time as well as practice in the workplace, before practical and written assessments take place. The training course usually lasts for three days.

Course Fee £385.00
