The Barista course is now nationally recognised training. It gives you the core skills to work in a café or hospitality setting — organising your workstation, selecting and grinding beans, extracting and monitoring espresso quality, texturing milk, and presenting and serving — plus the food safety and hygiene practices that keep every cup safe to serve.

You’ll complete self-paced online modules (approx. 3 hours) before attending your practical session, so your face-to-face time focuses on skill-building behind the machine. Training includes knowledge questions and a practical skills assessment.

Two ways to enrol

  • Barista Course — SITHFAB025 Prepare and serve espresso coffee + SITXFSA005 Use hygienic practices for food safety. Blended: online theory plus a 1-day practical. $390 (launch price $350 until 1 Sept 2026).
  • Hospitality Bundle — the barista course above plus SITHFAB021 Provide responsible service of alcohol (RSA). Blended: online theory plus 1.5 days practical. $449 (launch price $399 until 1 Sept 2026).

On successful completion you’ll receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for each unit completed, issued by Workforce Training Group (RTO 46093).

This training is ideal for beginners, job seekers, and anyone wanting formal recognition for their hospitality skills.

Good to know

  • Delivery: Blended — self-paced online theory (pre-work) plus practical training at our Northbridge Training Centre, WA.

This is nationally recognised training. On successful completion you’ll receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for each unit you complete, issued by Workforce Training Group (RTO 46093).
