Why this academy
YOUR PATHWAY TO PROFESSIONAL COFFEE EDUCATION
Start with the four-day IBC Basic course to build your coffee fundamentals. Then choose your path with our two-day Advanced Barista, Brewing and Roasting course. Master the basics, specialize in your passion, and take your coffee skills further.
Italian Barista Certificate
IBC Basic
IBC Advanced
The Italian Barista Certificate runs at two levels. IBC Basic is four days and assumes no machine experience. Above it sit two Advanced courses, Advanced Barista and Advanced Roasting, of two days each. The two Advanced courses are separate from each other, and the IBC Basic is required before either of them.

Nageswara Rao K takes our courses at the Bengaluru campus.
What people ask first
We recommend starting with the IBC Basic course, a four-day programme covering roasting, brewing, barista, and latte art. It provides the essential foundation for progressing to either of our advanced courses. After completing the Basic course, you can choose Advanced levels to refine your skills.
Absolutely! Our courses focus on practical, hands-on training, giving you real-world experience in brewing, espresso preparation, latte art, and roasting.
The IBC is issued in Italy by Espresso Academy and emailed to you after the course. We teach under the supervision of Espresso Academy Italy, and the certificate is awarded at Basic Barista, Advanced Barista and Advanced Roasting. We also give you a participation certificate in person at the campus, which is our own and separate from the IBC.
No. The academy runs the Italian Barista Course, not an SCA course, and it does not assess for SCA certification. What it teaches is training aligned to the SCA Coffee Skills Program, which describes the standard rather than the certificate. If the SCA route is specifically what you want, ask and you will be told where to take it.
