Testimonials

My girlfriend and I recently took a barista course at Galway Barista School with Hanna, and it was an amazing experience! Hanna is a fantastic instructor – knowledgeable, engaging, and really made the whole learning process fun. We both had a great time, picked up lots of useful tips, and are excited to put them into practice at home. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their coffee game!

Thanks again, Hanna, for such a memorable experience!

Thoroughly enjoyed this course (Barista Skills Foundation Course) with Matt last week. The day absolutely flew and I feel like I learned so much in just one day. As there was only a small group of us doing the course together, we got a lot of hands on time with the machines and lots of opportunities to practice the skills that we had learned. I found the course extremely beneficial and am looking forward to using and improving my skills!

I attended a one day barista training workshop here and was blown away, it surpassed all of my expectations. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The course was perfectly thought out and delivered. It was more intensive than I had anticipated, we were given lots of time working the machine and steaming/texturing milk. The small class size allows for the trainer to give lots of attention to each student, really getting the best out of everyone. The course was, in a word, flawless.

My son recently enjoyed a one day Barista course at Galway Barista School and he said it was exactly what he needed to kickstart his interest in coffee. He would highly recommend it to anyone young and old.He is now preparing his CV for TY work experience and intends to look for work mainly in coffee shops and this course will take him anywhere with the excellent training given on the day.
Thanks again It was great!

Recently did the SCA Barista Skills Foundation course with Matt. The training and course content was excellent. Matt is passionate, knowledgeable and a great teacher. He created a very comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. The room set-up and layout is perfect allowing great hands-on use of professional coffee machines. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic direction given with true expertise from the field, this course will give you a sense of direction and a foundation in barista work that would otherwise require years of trial and error.
