Training courses - Caffè Carlito

Who they address

Our courses are aimed at two types of people: private coffee enthusiasts, who want to make a quantum leap in the preparation of this delicious beverage, and professionals in the catering world.

Although the basis is the same, the courses for professionals are more in-depth and take into account skills that should already have been acquired previously. In addition, professionals have the opportunity to obtain internationally recognised certification, raising their job profile through the Latte Art Grading System (LAGS) certifications.
