Big news. Bee, our Customer Relations Manager and Head of Training here at Red Bank, is officially an Authorised SCA Trainer (AST). From Spring 2025, we’ll be offering courses from the SCA Coffee Skills Program.
Here's the latest from Bee:
"I’ve been in the coffee game since 2010, but it wasn’t until 2017—during an SCA Introduction to Coffee course while managing a specialty coffee shop—that I truly fell in love with it. The SCA course completely transformed how I engaged with coffee.
Gone were the caramel syrups and giant milk-filled mugs. And since then, I began my mission of spreading the “coffee gospel” through training teams. I have been obsessed with learning everything I can about coffee and honing my skills in learning and development.
I’ve had the chance to learn from some of the best barista trainers in the industry. And for the past 18+ months at Red Bank, I’ve been fortunate to travel across the Tropics and add more accomplishments framed on the wall.
Just recently, I completed an intense course led by the Director of the Authorised SCA Trainer Program. And I’m super proud to say I’ve now reached a major career milestone: I’m officially an AST—Authorised SCA Trainer!
Starting Spring 2025, we’ll be offering courses from the SCA Coffee Skills Program. Whether you’re just getting into coffee or want to deepen your knowledge, we’ll be offering everything from Introduction to Coffee (perfect for anyone curious about this amazing drink) to Barista Skills (which teaches the essential practical skills needed behind the espresso bar. Foundation, Intermediate, and Professional levels). These certifications are widely respected in the coffee world, and we’re stoked to bring this opportunity to you.
If you have an existing wholesale account with us, please register your interest in our upcoming SCA courses here. We’ll be in touch when things kick off in the New Year.
Excited to start this coffee education journey with you!"
