What this course covers

Prepare and Serve Espresso CoffeeSITHFAB025 + SITXFSA005 · Statement of Attainment

You train on commercial espresso machines. You'll grind the beans and get the extraction right, texture milk, set up your station, and talk customers through the coffee menu.

The course covers two nationally recognised units. SITHFAB025 is the barista unit. SITXFSA005 is its food-hygiene prerequisite, and you complete it here — nothing to finish first.
