Certification & Qualification

BARISTA I (Domestic Espresso)
BARISTA II (Commercial Espresso)

'The Fix' is proudly industry accredited meaning we currently work in the industry. We currently own, operate and work in our own successful outlet everyday.

We are NOT a Registered Training Organisation, as there is no national (or state) regulation that determines who legally can or cannot work in a cafe or on a coffee machine. All we (and the national industry) require is that staff know how to efficiently operate a coffee machine and produce consistent product. After all, nobody likes or has time for bad coffee.

Ask any good barista how they know how to make great coffee consistently and we can guarantee most will reply "on the job experience". What 'The Fix' provides is a training experience in a real world, commercial environment.

People who are looking for a lifestyle change do a "Barista Course", open their own cafe & put their certificate up on the wall. Those who want to know what they're doing participate in our workshop, have a fantastic time & take home the industry knowledge that will allow them to succeed in an industry with an 85% failure rate (fact).
