Crema Coffee Garage

At the Garage, barista training is of utmost importance, as they believe their reputation is reliant on the quality of their trainees.

The training is not solely aimed at boosting business or securing jobs for participants but also serves as an act of self-preservation for the organization. Having offered barista training in Newcastle for over 12 years, the Garage decided to fully accredit their Level One course in 2012, ensuring their clients receive certified and high-quality barista training. Setting themselves apart from other barista courses, the Garage maintains a small classroom size, limited to only five students, with each student provided with their own group head and steam wand.

This exclusive use of equipment allows for individualized attention and instruction from their certified trainer, affording plenty of opportunities for students to practice beverage-making multiple times. The Garage emphasizes the importance of not rushing the learning process, ensuring all students have ample time to understand and master the material. Furthermore, as a local roaster, the Garage provides a unique opportunity for students to witness the coffee roasting process, offering them a comprehensive understanding of coffee as a whole.
