How the TAFE Qualification can help you get a job

Barista Basics Coffee Academy is the only coffee academy that can provide you with a TAFE Certificate, a TAFE Statement of Attainment in Hospitality Operative Skills and a Transcript of Results for the TAFE-NSW module 9542B that relates to the National Competency Prepare and Serve Espresso Coffee.

Barista Basics Coffee Academy is the only independent coffee training facility in Australia to carry the TAFE qualification. This means that we have been fully audited by the TAFE system, our teachers have Cert IV qualifications and our course teaches people exactly what is necessary (and a lot more!) to be competent in making coffee.

To gain the TAFE qualification from TAFE NSW - Western Institute, participants must complete the 5 hour Master Barista course.This means doing 5 hours of training.

Participants will receive advanced standing (credit) for that module in any TAFENSW course that they do in the future that contains the module eg (Cert 2,3 & 4 plus Diploma in Hospitality). They should also receive advanced standing in any course outside TAFENSW that includes the national competency SITHFAB012A.

Many barista schools have been existing in Australia and advertising that they are “accredited.” If they are not offering certification with the Nationally Recognised Training Logo and the VETAB logo, chances are, they are not accredited by the State Government.They are therefore merely accrediting themselves! These operators would therefore not be VETAB accredited and are therefore not necessarily teaching you in accordance with the industry standard established by SITHFAB012A and their instructors are not professional trainers who have a qualification that is recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework. Barista Basics Coffee Academy has been working with the TAFE NSW - Western Institute for the past four years to ensure that our course in completely in line with Prepare and serve espresso coffee – the industry standard in espresso making.
