The International Coffee & Tea Festival 2015 hopes to address the growing demand for professional development of baristas with SCAA-certified programmes leading up to and during the course of its 7th edition.

With increased competiiton and consumer demand, cafes and coffee houses in the region are recognising the need to recruit trained staff and improve skills of existing baristas to enhance their overall service and produce a better product.

Training programmes at the International Coffee & Tea Festival (ICTF) are certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA).

SCAA-certified instructors, who have completed all components of the SCAA’s Instructor Development Programme, will administer the workshops and certifications that are designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced professionals.

Ryan Godinho, UAE’s national liaison for World Coffee Events and special events coordinator (training & championships) with ICTF, said: “As the demand for high-quality coffee made from well-roasted coffee beans rises in the UAE, the time has come to differentiate between a barista from a coffee maker.

Intensive training and hands-on experience in roasting, grinding, extracting, and frothing transforms a coffeemaker into a professional barista.”

The International Coffee & Tea Festival 2015 will be held 11th – 13th November, 2015, at The Meydan Gallery, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
