STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES

The Barista Course at Shafston provided me with the necessary skills to prepare different sorts of beverages and how to deal properly with the expresso machine. After a few weeks, I could demonstrate my skills with confidence in an Italian Bistro and receive good feedback about my skills even though I had never worked before in this area. As a result, I was hired the same day.
