Collection: Coffee Academy - Specialty Coffee Courses | Sen by Prodigal

For complete novices, we recommend you take our Weekend Coffee Bundle course. It helps you build a solid foundation in coffee appreciation, where you can learn to distinguish flavors of coffee, and gain an understanding of the different types.

If you consider yourself an experienced coffee lover, someone who’s taken coffee courses before, then you’re probably looking for more practical skills to learn rather than just theory.

For something a bit more long term and in-depth, consider our Become a Barista and Become a Brewer course, where you’ll be taught by practicing coffee professionals to learn beyond the basics with hands-on experience. These 3-months courses will make you understand how to become baristas and coffee brewers, and how you can apply these lessons to your at home coffee.

Our Coffee Roasting Course and Latte Art Course are perfect for coffee enthusiasts looking for something just as in-depth, but doesn’t require such a long time commitment.

Becoming a barista in Singapore can be a long and arduous process that simply goes beyond knowing how to make a good cup of espresso. In terms of barista training, Singapore has a wide range of coffee workshops and classes which can provide you with the education and experience necessary to get you started.

As for turning your passion for coffee into an actual profession, you would probably have a hard time getting a job as a barista if you don’t have any prior professional experience. Expect to start your way up as an intern, cafe assistant, or even service crew, and while doing so, learn from both the actual baristas as well as attend barista classes.

Sen by Prodigal’s Full Barista Bundle not only provides you with the training and education necessary to become a full-fledged barista, but offer advice formed from years of practical experience which goes beyond theoretical understandings.

We recommended our participants to wear comfortable, casual clothing that you wouldn’t mind getting a bit dirty with coffee grounds and milk froth. Closed toe shoes are also required for safety reasons. Any dangling jewelry on your person must be removed before each class so as to not interfere with your work. 

Nope! Everything is provided for you, from equipment to coffee materials such as coffee grounds, milk, and coffee beans. For a few modules, we’ll allow students to bring their own equipment so they can learn with familiar tools.

Generally, a brewer focuses on skills that revolve around a more manual coffee making process. This includes coffee techniques such as the pour-over, French press, and AeroPress. Although the skills are commonly found within the home brewing scene, a commercial brewer is involved in the presentation of the coffee through initiating conversation between brewer and customer, hence making it more of a secondary skill that is good to have, but not necessary in many coffee bars. 

A barista, on the other hand, is someone who crafts espresso-based coffee drinks with an espresso machine. Think lattes, americanos, and cappuccinos! People who pursue our Barista course are usually interested in becoming a professional barista for a cafe.
