Indie School Intro to Espresso coffee course

Early July saw HITsa Salisbury hosting the Elizabeth Campus Indie School students in an Introduction to Espresso course. The groups were given a basic course on how to prepare and serve different types of coffee and other hot drinks.

The course has a practical focus and most of the time is spent giving the students a chance to use all the coffee making equipment. They are also encouraged to practice their customer service skills by taking orders and delivering coffee orders to other students and staff in the building.

The feedback received from the students was very positive. When asked what the best aspects of the training was, one student wrote: “trainer broke down tasks to make them easier to understand”; another wrote “the best aspects were the fact I got to learn how to use the machines”.

Here are some highlights from the day.
