The Professional Qualification in Barista at Berkeley Training & Educational Consultancy continues to be one of the institution’s most established and sought-after programs. Since its inception, the course has successfully trained 139 batches of students, highlighting its ongoing relevance in Qatar’s dynamic hospitality industry.
Structured as a 7-week intensive program, this qualification offers a comprehensive blend of theoretical instruction and hands-on practical training. Students gain essential skills in espresso preparation, milk frothing, latte art, and coffee machine maintenance, all within a professionally equipped and realistic training environment.
Berkeley awards certificates attested by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) upon course completion, providing graduates with credentials that are recognized both locally and internationally. The program is ideal for individuals aspiring to enter or advance within the café, hospitality, or food service sectors.
An added feature of the course is the Customer Service Program, delivered in the final phase. This module focuses on customer interaction, communication skills, and service excellence, culminating in an additional certificate that enhances graduates’ readiness for professional roles.
To further support high-quality training, Berkeley has recently renovated its Barista Classroom, adding new espresso machines and upgrading the facilities to enhance the learning experience.
