Short Course
Barista Course
Study Customer Service English and Barista Skills
The Barista program is exclusive to our Brisbane and Noosa Campus, provides high-quality Barista and Customer English training.
Every student will receive at least eight hours of supervised work experience in our fully operational café, meaning that graduates are in high demand from local employers.
Just as importantly, we included two units of Nationally Recognised Training – SITXFSA005 (Use hygienic practices for food safety) and SITHFAB025 (Prepare and serve espresso coffee) – both critically important in finding work in the food service industry.
Students will leave with a Lexis English certificate highlighting their study of Customer Service English, as well as two units of competency of Nationally Recognised Training.

“The trainer Meagan was very knowledgeable. The kitchen facilities and the café is really beautiful and comfortable so I really enjoy making great coffee. Being under pressure from real customers was also very helpful.”

Rating
Great food, service and price. We visit regularly and have never been disappointed. Service is always attentive but not OTT. Food is excellent, the choice of courses might be limited but all options suit our taste. Will be back very soon.
Great place to dine. Friendly service and great food. Prices have increased slightly but it is still cheap compared to other eateries in Noosa. We will return!
Service and food are amazing, we love it there. Five star food and service every time with such creative and delicious menus.
