Learn to Make Great Coffee at Loughlinstown
If you have ever thought about working as a barista or simply want to learn how to make great coffee, the SCA Barista Skills Training course at Dublin College Loughlinstown is a great place to start. This three week, full time course starts in March 2026 and is ideal for beginners who want practical, hands on experience.
The course is focused on learning by doing. You will spend your time working on professional coffee equipment and building confidence behind the machine. You will learn the basics of espresso and how extraction affects taste, how to set up and adjust grinders for consistent results, and how to steam and texture milk correctly. You will also practise making popular espresso based drinks and develop basic latte art skills.
Good workflow and looking after equipment are a key part of the training, just like in a real cafe. You will also learn about customer service and what is expected when dealing with customers in a busy coffee environment. Health, safety and hygiene are covered throughout the course so you understand how to work safely and professionally.
This course is suitable for anyone interested in working in a cafe or hospitality setting, or for those who want to add recognised barista skills to their CV.
