This training certification was created for individuals who wish to start a career in specialty coffee either as a Barista or Coffee Shop owner, as well as individuals who love coffee and wish to learn how to become better at-home Baristas!  We all know there is a shortage of labor in coffee shops across the country. The reason being, it takes too long inside an active store environment to properly train a new Barista, so they learn on the fly in a rushed and inconsistent manner. This class gives students an advantage over regular applicants in the hiring process as well as new coffee shop owners just starting out, by exposing them to core Barista fundamentals and coffee education. Once students are certified, if they're looking for employment, we will work with our specialty coffee partners to get them working as soon as possible. Students will receive their very own Barista Basics binder, recipe cards and a certificate of completion.!

About Me
Kelley Smith is CEO and Founder of BaristaSource LLC, the Southeast's only fully accredited Barista Training Facility and Barista Talent Acquisition firm. With over 25years of leading diverse teams in the retail, Food and Beverage, and Speciality coffee industries, Kelley was ready to venture out on her own. She created BaristaSource LLC because after working for Specialty Coffee in various positions she personally witnessed the lack of promotional opportunities for Minorities as well as reoccurring issues with staffing and training within Speciality Coffee that continue to cause heartburn for the industry to this day.
To build BaristaSource, she brought together a core team of growth minded Veterans and up and coming Leaders to provide critical analysis and strategic planning on how to effectively solve the problem at hand in such a way that it can be replicated easily for quick scalability and at the same time, could underserved communities.
Kelley supports a diverse portfolio of 501c3 organizations that specifically support underserved communities, at-risk youth, and job placement programs for re-entry candidates.
