Professional Barista Training at Cork Barista School
Cork Barista School is Cork City’s dedicated barista training facility — built for people who want to work in coffee professionally or master the craft at home. Our SCA-qualified instructors have over 10 years’ experience training baristas across Ireland, from complete beginners to working café professionals.
All training takes place at our fully equipped facility at Westside Centre, Model Farm Road, Cork City. You’ll train on commercial espresso machines and grinders – the same equipment used in professional café kitchens – from your very first session.
Whether you’re looking to launch a career in coffee, upskill your team, or explore barista skills as a hobby, our courses run year-round in small groups so every student gets meaningful hands-on time on the machine.

We offer three focused barista courses suited to different skill levels and goals:

Full Day Barista Course — €150
