Curriculum

What You'll Learn in a Di Pacci Barista Course

Our courses cover every skill a working barista needs — from the science of extraction to the artistry of a perfect pour.

01

Espresso Extraction Fundamentals

Understand dose, yield, time, and pressure. Learn to identify under- and over-extraction by taste and adjust your grind, dose, and tamp accordingly — the foundation of every great espresso.

02

Grinder Calibration & Dosing

Discover how grind size directly affects flavour, and how to calibrate commercial grinders precisely for different blends, roast levels, and brew ratios throughout a service shift.

03

Milk Texturing & Steam Technique

Master the technique for producing silky microfoam suitable for lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and cortados. The single skill that separates average baristas from great ones.

04

Latte Art & Pouring Technique

Learn to pour hearts, rosettas, and tulips consistently. Advanced students cover multi-layer patterns and the precise jug angles, speed, and milk ratios that make competition-level art possible.

05

Café Workflow & Busy Service

Work through realistic high-volume service scenarios that build speed, composure, and consistency. Real café work demands efficiency — our training prepares you for exactly that.

06

Machine Maintenance & Daily Cleaning

Understand the commercial espresso machine from the barista's seat — group head flushing, backflushing, steam wand care, and end-of-day protocols that protect your machine and your coffee quality.

Who Should Enrol

Barista Training for Every Level & Purpose

Di Pacci's barista courses are designed for a wide range of students — from first-timers to seasoned professionals.

Understanding Your Options

Nationally Recognised vs. Specialised Training — What's the Difference?

Di Pacci offers two distinct training streams. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right course for your goals.

Formal Qualification

Nationally Recognised Training

Delivered under Di Pacci's RTO registration (45805), these courses follow the national training framework and result in a Statement of Attainment — a portable credential recognised by employers in hospitality, café, and food service industries across Australia. Includes formal assessment. Ideal for those building a career in coffee or needing formal credentials for employment.

Practical Skills

Specialised Training

Focused entirely on practical skill development — no formal assessment, no paperwork. These sessions are for people who need to improve fast: home enthusiasts, café teams, new equipment owners, and experienced baristas targeting specific techniques like latte art. Flexible, intensive, and immediately applicable. Choose 1-on-1, group, or advanced coaching depending on your needs.

Not Sure Which to Choose?

Start with a 1-on-1 Session

If you're unsure whether you need a formal qualification or just want to improve your skills, our 1-on-1 barista training session is the best starting point. Your trainer will assess your level, identify your goals, and recommend the right pathway. Call (02) 9758 0760 or email support@dipacci.com.au to discuss your options before booking.
