How IBC courses and exams work?

Theory

One of IBC’s goals is to provide very complete and very practical training, a philosophy which, understandably, takes time.

We realize that time is precious for everyone, and we don’t want the courses leading to Italian Barista Method certifications to be too expensive.

This is why we ensure that the very important theoretical part can be held remotely, through video courses, slides and other material, in this way part of the training can be done at home, with lower times and costs.

How IBC courses and exam works?

Practice

Once the theory has been completed, you can access the theoretical exam, which is sent out directly by the headquarter in your preferred language.

Once this exam is passed, you will be admitted to the course and to the subsequent practical exam at the chosen location.

If you live far from an authorized center, courses and exams can also be delivered through an online procedure. For the latte art exam, however, it will be necessary to have the equipment (for instance espresso machine for barista courses).
