Frequently Asked Questions

Is your certificate recognized?

Yes. Buono Coffee Academy is an SCA certified training centre, and every course we offer falls under the SCA Coffee Skills Program. This means your certificate is globally recognized and valid internationally, whether you’re looking to work in a café locally or abroad.

How is café experience given?

After completing your course, you’ll get hands on training at our own café, Buono Café, one of Kandy’s most established specialty coffee spots. This gives you real café floor experience, not just classroom learning, and you’ll walk away with a café experience certificate alongside your SCA certification.

Will there be practicals during the course?

Yes. While theory is part of the syllabus, our focus is on practical, hands on training. You’ll spend most of your time actually working with the equipment, brewing, and building real skills you can use on the job from day one.

Do you teach latte art?

Absolutely, yes. Latte art training is included in our barista course. That said, latte art is just one part of what makes a great barista. Our training covers the full picture, from espresso extraction to milk texturing to customer facing service, so you leave fully equipped, not just good at pouring.
