How the Course Works
The Geelong barista course runs in two parts. You do the theory online in your own time first, then come in for the hands-on session. Both parts are included in the one price.
Online Theory - About 4 Hours, Self-Paced
After you book, you get access to the online theory. Work through it whenever it suits you, on a phone, tablet or computer - you can stop and come back as many times as you need. It covers coffee knowledge, equipment, hygiene and the drinks you will be making, so you walk into the classroom already knowing the background. Please finish this before your classroom date so the practical session is spent on the machine rather than catching up.
Classroom Practical - 3 to 4 Hours in Geelong
Come to 15 Mercer St, Geelong on your booked date and spend the session on a real commercial coffee machine with a barista trainer. This is the hands-on part: grinding and dosing, tamping, pulling and tasting shots, texturing milk, pouring cafe-style milk coffees and cleaning down. Just bring yourself - all equipment, coffee and milk are provided. The exact start and finish time for your date is shown on the booking calendar above.
Who Should Attend?
This Geelong barista course is highly recommended for anybody who wants to kick-start a hospitality career, maintain employment in the cafe industry, or build practical espresso coffee skills for work. It is designed to stand out among the barista courses Geelong learners compare when they want local, practical training rather than theory alone.
What Is Included
- Around 4 hours of self-paced online theory, accessible as soon as you book.
- A 3 to 4 hour hands-on Geelong classroom session on commercial espresso equipment.
- All coffee, milk and equipment on the day - just bring yourself.
- Trainer feedback on your extraction, milk texturing and pouring.
- Your Eclipse Education Certificate of Completion, available to print yourself.
