James Listor3-Day Course
Loved every minute of this course. It felt more like an experience than a classroom – but by the end I could confidently go from bean to cup, with the skills and knowledge to serve, present and make a smooth, well-balanced coffee.
I’m now qualified and will definitely be coming back to Farrers for future certifications or a refresher.
