In a world where coffee fuels conversations, creativity, and culture, there arises a need for an institution that not only teaches coffee — but defines it. The School of Coffee is more than a training center; it is a hub of innovation, culture, and excellence dedicated to shaping the next generation of coffee professionals, thinkers, and entrepreneurs.
A New Era in Coffee Education
The School of Coffee bridges the gap between tradition and technology. It blends the deep-rooted knowledge of African coffee heritage with global best practices in specialty coffee education. From farm to cup, students learn the complete coffee journey — understanding how every bean, roast, and brew carries a story of science, art, and sustainability.
Here, education is hands-on. Learners roast, cup, brew, and serve, guided by certified trainers and industry experts. The curriculum spans foundational barista skills, sensory science, brewing technology, and coffee value analysis — ensuring graduates are ready for both local and international opportunities.
Our Philosophy: Learn. Innovate. Inspire.
At the heart of the School of Coffee is a belief that coffee is more than a beverage — it’s a livelihood and an identity.
We train not just baristas, but storytellers, innovators, and change-makers who can transform coffee communities from within. The school fosters creativity, entrepreneurship, and ethical trade through education that empowers farmers, youth, and women in the coffee value chain.
